Trumbull SOG

I posted the $20 dot lesson. I posted because I used it as my sample.

I selcted Aesop and Ananse: Animal Fablea and Trickster Tales.  Fables are a big part of the 3=2ng grade ELA standards.  I am always looking for new ideas and ways to present this topic to my students.

I selected Connotation, Character, and Color Imagery in The Great Gatsby. After viewing the lesson, I realized it can help bridge the gap between chapter reading assignments and the final writing assignment. For each chapter, I have students select passages and create annotation tasks (highlight specific language, evidence, and answer questions). This is called Tough Text. Then, the students share with a classmate and complete each task. Later, the students develop a thematic essay that discusses how the author uses symbolism and motifs to develop the theme. This lesson is a great way to develop the skill of literary analysis by identifying color imagery and analyzing what the language suggests. 

The resource I posted was called, Grade 10 ELA Module 4. It provides different nonfiction and drama pieces for students to look at and evaluate. It focuses on how authors develop central ideas. I want students to be able to look at nonfiction pieces as well as drama pieces and dig deeper using evidence. This will help strengthen their skills to look at a piece of literature and evaluate it while using evidence from the text itself to support their findings. 

I added this to the group because I have an affinity for science. I really liked the layout of the material shared. The Table of Contents is labeled under each heading with multiple resources and practice found within each section. Chapter 1.0 is , "Introducaiton to Life Science," for example. Each embeds reading, resources, and details. There are questions, with the answers below, and scientific ways of thinking highlighted. The photographs nd content is eye catching and enhances the text. It also included vocabulary, summary, and exploring more content. For all of these reasons, I posted this positively reviewed link. I used this to practice the steps needed to post in a group.

I shared Counting-Dots-in-Arrays as a 2nd grade resource to help reinforce what I am teaching in person and to give the students a visual of what the concept is about.  This seems to be a standard that some students struggle with and I thought maybe this exercise would help the students with understanding.  

I added Accountable Book Clubs to the reviewed resources because I like the lesson design and some of the materials. I'm not familair with the text that is the model, but felt I could absolutely use the activities and materials for my own texts or literature circles. In particular, the Critical Thinking Map is student-centered as they select social issues of importance to them and then develop their own understanding of the issue instead of me telling them which issues to pursue. Ideally, I would offer one as a model and then have them determine the others for their group.

I posted the "At the Park" grade 1 math resource lesson.  I posted it because I am always looking for ways for my students to apply the math that they learn from our text.  They always think that something that "isn't in the book" is more fun.  \

 I chose Counting Circles II.  This activity is designed to target trouble spots that children have with counting.

I posted System of Equations -- Part I Graphing.  It is provided by Alabama Learning Exchange and utilizes Desmos, one of my favorite calculators, and also used by the AIR test.  I am always looking for ways to combine paper/pencil activites with digital activities and this one does not disappoint.  Its procedure involves a paper/pencil bell ringer, a demonstration of Desmos, Google Docs, Google Classroom, and Kuta Software (which I have a license to use).  The activity takes one class lesson and should appeal to all levels of students.

I posted Marvelous Moods because I think it's a helpful resource, especially with Covid. I've found children now have a more social anxieties and they struggle with expressing emotions. This lesson can help students with expressing emotions. 

I selected Trigonometry.  It is a student textbook and is for my Algebra 2 class.  I like the graphics, and there are links to many topics / standards required for Algebra 2.

I'm doing a test reply

I posted this lesson from Open Space about using law of sines to find the height of a triangle. In the lesson plan this are multiple links to worksheets and a geoboard activity. I am always looking for new activities to use in my teaching of different topics and I like interactive sites that students can get immediate feedback from.

I added the Open Space resource Where is Here? It has earned the RemotEDx endorsement. This applies to my 5th and 6th grade social studies standards because in this lesson, students are shown the very basics of navigation. The concepts of relative and absolute location, latitude, longitude and cardinal directions are discussed, as well as the use and principles of a map and compass. Some of this is new information for my students and some of it is review. Map skills and navigation are concepts we complete at the beginning of each school year.

In one section of my SEL we talk about differences and how that is a good thing.  I like finding another lesson to work this in.

I posted a resource entitled Time after Time.  This resource is about creating timelines, which is something that I discuss and cover with my first grade students.  This resource would be a good tool to help my students understand the importance of a timeline.  

I added Common Core Curriculum Grade 8 ELA - this is the basis for everything I must do in my day to day life at school. It is set up quite well and easy to navigate.

I added the Aesop and Ananse: Animal Fables and Trickster Tales. It will be a great resource to use with my students. 

Then and Now

The first grade does a then and now comparision.  This reource talks about how communities have changed over time.  This would be a great resource to use because it combines two standards.  Then and now comparision as well as what is a community.
