The Cat's Diary Day 983 of My Captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt todisgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

How many of 10?

AdditionHere is one way to show students how to add using Number Time:
First, choose a number and draw that amount in the “+” area.
In this example, teacher and students will count on from the “Draw Them” section to figure out that 5 + 3 = 8

Workflow. Getting kids working
The power of Lit Circles is kids talking about
literature, in small groups and sharing their
observations by recording them.
The Quadrants. Summarizing.
Summarizing made easy.
1. Somebody: Who is the main character (protagonist)
2. Wanted: What does the main character want or need?
3. But: What gets in the way of the main character?
4. So: What does the main character do about it?
5. Then: What was the resolution of the story?
Char vs Char - Buzz LightYear vs Emperor Zurg
Char vs Self - Is Buzz a toy? Or not?
Char vs Nature - Buzz and Woody vs Scud (Sid’s Dog)
Char vs Machine - Buzz in the garbage machine
Char vs Society - The toys blame Woody for Buzz leaving
The Quadrants. Conflict.
Have students identify types of conflict as many as possible.
Pushing the definitions and trying is more important than being exactly correct.
The Quadrants. Conflict.
Great Examples!
Characterize. Characters DRIVE the story.
Description - MULTIPLE and UNIQUE qualities.
(“brown hair and a smile” will not get it done)
Actions - MULTIPLE and UNIQUE actions
(“he’s nice”, “she helps people” = too generic)
Dialogue - KEY things the character says + catchphrases
(“Good morning”, “hello” = not rich enough0
Interior Monologue - What the character thinks about the problem OR other characters and their
actions.
(The character should think about the conflicts)
How Society sees them - The key= NOT what you THINK
(Number one error? What YOU think of the character)
Comprehension suffers without knowing characters

BUY-IN.
YOUR STUDENTS WILL ASK TO WATCH AND ANALYZE VIDEOS OVER AND OVER
Note: This is “close watching” as opposed to “close reading” - but the skills gained are the same
THIS WILL HAPPEN
Kids will see Irony, Paradox, Poetic Justice,
Foreshadowing and more in REAL LIFE
NOT just books.
THIS PROCESS IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN
STANDARDIZED SCORES
Bonus Round
The case against random
To kids, this comes off as passive aggressive
Listen or be embarrassed
Listen or be wrong
The teacher is the center
Learner emapthy
Would popsicle sticks be effective in
a staff meeting?
No. Why?
Tricking or forcing people to learn is
not the optimal way
Should we only focus on part?
OR the WHOLE?
Have them do something
to show they know
Everyone
5 minutes
Frayer Models are
Easy CFUs
Random is not rich enoughFind out what everyone knows
Change on a dimeDon’t be passive-
aggressive by accident
Do not get me started on
Thumbs up….
They will always say thumbs up
It’s almost recess!
Make them all show you some WORK!
