Signposts

I have been co-teaching in a grade 6 class this week. The teacher is such a joy to work with. This is the second year I’ve worked with her, and I really enjoy it. She is so open to co-teaching and having me in her classroom.

Yesterday, we started teaching the Signposts (Beers and Probst “Notice and Note”). We decided to start with “Again and Again”.

The texts we have used so far to teach the signpost:

 I Like, I Don’t Like
We Don’t Eat Our Classmates
You Don’t Want a Unicorn

Today, our lesson morphed into a brainstorming session for persuasive writing. I just love it when students run with an idea!

Tomorrow we will be doing a shared writing "You Don't Want a Troll"...should be fun!
