TEACHING Tip Manage the paper blizzard! Stand by the recycling bin as you go through mail. Toss anything you don't need. Review papers on your desk weekly. Throw out duplicates and items you can find online. File papers you may need later.
TEACHER TALK
Text structure is the organization of
a text. Structures include sequence, story structure (plot), compare/contrast, problem/solution, and so on.
Be sure to schedule
time for students to
work on the unit
inquiry project "Great
Adventures in History." This week students combine the information
they have collected to answer their inquiry questions.
