The document discusses the challenges of writing an essay on the topic of "Megaessays". It notes that the term is vague and could encompass many subjects, making it difficult to define the scope. Additionally, there is a lack of academic literature specifically on megaessays, so the writer may need to rely on more general principles.

This document discusses improving vocabulary instruction in classrooms. It notes that simply having students look up words or study lists is ineffective for retention. Factors like increasing poverty rates and more rigorous academic standards require boosting students' vocabularies. The author discusses strategies they used successfully as a teacher, like having students find and record unknown words from their independent reading and share words in "word talks." The goal is for students to learn vocabulary naturally through reading and use, not just for tests.
This document is a reflection sheet for 9th grade English students to complete and attach to their final drafts. It contains 7 questions that require students to reflect on whether they are satisfied with their piece and why, how their title and introduction engage readers, how they ensured correct grammar and structure, who their intended audience is, their favorite part of the piece and why, who helped with drafts and how, and what grade they think they deserve based on the rubric and why.

The document discusses effective questioning strategies for teachers, noting that most classroom questions are low-level recall questions. It provides tips for crafting higher-order, open-ended questions that engage students more deeply and promote skills like metacognition, vocabulary development, and writing. Sample questioning techniques are demonstrated around topics like note-taking, technology use, and declaring independence from England.
The document outlines the rationale and agenda for a one-day seminar on improving questioning techniques in the classroom. It notes that teachers often feel pressure to cover curriculums which leads them to rely on low-level questioning that does not engage students in meaningful learning. Research shows that 80% of questions asked by teachers are not cognitively complex. The seminar aims to share strategies for planning and implementing powerful questioning using frameworks like Bloom's Taxonomy and Webb's Depth of Knowledge to build students' language, writing, metacognition, and engagement skills. The agenda covers examining typical classroom questioning, defining powerful questions, and techniques for oral language, vocabulary, writing, metacognition, and changing classroom culture through questioning
This two-day workshop is designed to help teachers learn strategies for close reading instruction.

The goals are for teachers to understand what close reading entails, be able to define it for students and collaborate with colleagues on improving literacy instruction through close reading.

Getting Middle Schoolers on Board with ArgumentationAngela Peery
This document provides an overview of a presentation on teaching argumentation skills to middle school students. It discusses using crime scene scenarios to introduce argument writing, distinguishing claims from non-claims, and the roles of logos, ethos, and pathos in an argument.

The goal is to help teachers develop effective plans to incorporate argumentation into their own classrooms using engaging techniques like fictional crime scenarios.
This document discusses strategies for improving instruction through the use of learning intentions, success criteria, and reflection. It defines learning intentions as describing what is being learned rather than just activities, and gives an example. Success criteria are then tied to learning intentions to help students know if they have been successful. Several reflection strategies are presented, including having students reflect on notes, with graphic organizers, through exit tickets, using metaphors and analogies, examining word relationships, and creating memes. The overall message is that reflection is important for deepening student learning and should be facilitated through various strategies.
The document describes the components of a rigorous classroom environment including print-rich materials, content-rich displays, higher-level questioning from the teacher, alignment of class activities and student work to grade-level standards, and the use of feedback and support to help students meet high expectations. Student work demonstrates understanding of scoring criteria and involves authentic reading, writing, analysis and problem-solving rather than copying notes or rote memorization. Various grouping strategies encourage student participation in instruction.
This document discusses strategies for engaging students in writing to improve learning outcomes. It recommends having all students spend significant time reading, discussing, and writing across content areas. Brief writing assignments can increase understanding in any subject from math to art. While student literacy has remained steady, few can create precise and coherent prose. Writing is an essential skill for most modern jobs. The document presents strategies like alphabet brainstorming, think-pair-share, and criss-cross writing to engage students and support critical thinking. It concludes by emphasizing the role of teachers in filling students with hope and reasons to embrace writing.
The document provides guidance on teaching argumentation skills to students. It discusses the rhetorical modes of logos, ethos, and pathos and how they are used in advertising and political ads. It also covers understanding claims versus opinions, identifying logical fallacies, and determining if a statement is a claim, opinion, or fallacy. Suggested classroom activities are presented, including using talk protocols to structure student arguments, playing an "evidence game" to have students take positions and debate with evidence, and providing examples of claims for students to analyze.
This chapter discusses the power of questions to invite learning and foster human connection. It argues that asking questions comes naturally to humans and is how we learn from a young age through curiosity and engaging with others. The brain's natural tendency is bottom-up processing to find things of interest, which can then lead to top-down processing when we focus our attention. Questions remind us that learning is wired into our brains and tapping into curiosity invokes engagement. Questions also build relationships as they demand responses and connect people in conversations. Effective teachers use questions strategically to engage students and encourage dialogue rather than monologue. Questions are key to educational change by focusing thinking and driving critical conversations.
The document outlines a 100-day action plan to improve student academic vocabulary. The vision is for all students to acquire Tier 2 and 3 vocabulary words. To support this, the principal will train teachers to implement SNAP mini-lessons across subjects to teach 15 words per week. The principal will observe lessons and collect student work samples in PLC meetings to assess effectiveness. Specific actions include meeting with a literacy coach, training teachers, observing demonstration lessons, and debriefing with teachers.

8. Levels of Knowing a Word
1. No knowledge of the word—never heard or saw it
2. May have heard the word, but don’t really know what it
means
3. Can make general associations with the word and recognize it
within context (receptive)
4. Have a rich understanding of the word and can use it in
speaking and writing (expressive)

After the next big rain storm, put your boots on and go outside. Look at the water
dripping from your roof. Watch it gush out of the drainpipes. You can see water flowing
down your street too.
Water is always flowing. It trickles in the brook near your house.
Sometimes you see water rushing along in a stream or in a big river.
Water always flows downhill. It flows from high places to low places, just the way you
and your skateboard move down a hill.
Sometimes water collects in a low spot in the land – a puddle, a pond, or a lake. The
water’s downhill journey may end there. Most of the time, though, the water will find a
way to keep flowing downhill. Because water flows downhill, it will keep flowing until it
can’t go any lower. The lowest parts of the earth are the oceans. Water will keep
flowing until it reaches an ocean.
Dorros, A. Follow the Water from Brook to Ocean, 1993
19. Sort the Words 2
Great whirling storms roar out of the oceans in many parts of the world. They are called
by several names—hurricane, typhoon, and cyclone are the three most familiar ones.
But no matter what they are called, they are all the same sort of storm. They are born in
the same way, in tropical waters. They develop the same way, feeding on warm, moist
air. And they do the same kind of damage, both ashore and at sea. Other storms may
cover a bigger area or have higher winds, but none can match both the size and the fury
of hurricanes. They are earth’s mightiest storms.
Like all storms, they take place in the atmosphere, the envelope of air that surrounds
the earth and presses on its surface. The pressure at any one place is always changing.
There are days when air is sinking and the atmosphere presses harder on the surface.
These are the times of high pressure. There are days when a lot of air is rising and the
atmosphere does not press down as hard. These are times of low pressure. Low-
pressure areas over warm oceans give birth to hurricanes.
Lauber, P. Hurricanes: Earth’s Mightiest Storms, 1996
20. Remember…
“Teachable moments are important; however, they will not
be sufficient for students to engage in complex texts.
Rather, we will have to be much more strategic about word

Vocabulary in a format you can share with

Obviously, vocabulary building begins at home. Many people are now familiar with the so-called “30 million word gap” that exists between three-year-olds of low-income families and their fellow toddlers in working class and professional families (Hart and Risley, 2003). The 30 million words total refers to the fact that professional parents speak much more to their children, often teach new words in context, and, because they are generally of a high education level, use more sophisticated words and a large variety of words. We may also infer that professional parents have more disposable income and can thus take their children on more outings and provide more experiences for them than families of lesser income, so the children gain much more extensive background knowledge. In sum, students coming from professional families have actually heard 30 million more words in use than their low-income counterparts. Hart and Risley estimated that children of professional families enter school with a vocabulary of about 1100 words, whereas children of working class families enter knowing about 700 words and children of welfare families enter having amassed a total of only about 500 (1995, p. 176). As Robert Pondiscio (2014) notes, “To grow up as the child of well-educated parents in an affluent American home is to hit the verbal lottery.”

Robert J. Marzano (2004) recommends a six-step process for teaching vocabulary in his book Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement. The steps are as follows.
The teacher provides a description, explanation, or example of the new term.
Students provide a linguistic explanation by restating the new term in their own words using an example, description, or explanation of the term.
Students create a nonlinguistic representation of the term, which may include constructing a picture, pictograph, or symbolic representation, or acting out the term.
Over time, students periodically engage in activities that help them deepen their knowledge of the vocabulary term while recording those terms in a print or online vocabulary notebook.
Periodically, teachers ask students to discuss terms with one another.
Students, over time, engage in game-like activities that allow them to play with the terms and reinforce word knowledge.
Isabel Beck and colleagues (2013), whose work is cited in appendix A of the Common Core State Standards for English language arts (NGA & CCSSO, n.d.), recommend the following five steps in what they call robust vocabulary instruction.
Contextualize words: Put simply, this means presenting new words in context, not in lists. Students should study words in the context in which texts present them.
Provide friendly explanations: These employ general terms that students can readily understand, not gobbledygook dictionary definitions. We often call these student-friendly definitions. Teachers can reference the dictionary definition, but it is not the focal point of this step.
BLENDED VOCABULARY FOR K–12 CLASSROOMS
Provide another context for the word: Make sure students know that the context in which they found the word may not be the only context in which they can use it. Providing varied contexts helps students connect to the word.
Provide opportunities for students to actively process word meanings: Have them connect the known to the unknown. Ask questions that use more than one target word at a time to help students see relationships and contrasts between words. Providing similar and contrasting relationships (using, for example, language such as is like and isn’t like) between words is quite helpful for students to move word knowledge from unknown to known.
Provide many encounters with the words over time: Revisiting words and providing multiple exposures are paramount in word learning. Encounters need to include multiple applications of the words, meaning that students use the words in different contexts, different ways, and so on. The more the words pop up in the students’ reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing, the more likely students are to remember them.
Michael Graves’s work focuses tightly on literacy in general and on vocabulary in particular. His work is well respected in literacy circles, and other vocabulary researchers almost always reference it in publications. Graves (2006) proposes a solid four-part model for vocabulary instruction, which we briefly outline here.
Provide rich and varied language experiences: This includes students experiencing words through reading, listening, speaking, and writing across grade levels, content areas, and genres. Reading aloud to students and providing time for them to read materials of choice are an important part of this component.
Teach individual words: This element focuses on teaching new words explicitly. Teachers may use various instructional strategies during this planned instruction, including nonlinguistic representations and cooperative learning.
Teach word-learning strategies: This component includes teaching word analysis strategies, inference strategies, and the effective use of resources such as print and online dictionaries.
19 A New Model for Effective Vocabulary Instruction
Foster word consciousness: Create an environment rich in print and language opportunities that engage students in playful activities with words, and serve as an exemplar of good vocabulary use.
In contrast to Marzano’s model, the first part of

Selecting words is critically important within a schoolwide effort to improve literacy. Like many instructional tasks, the decisions related to selecting vocabulary are on a continuum of choices and are largely dependent on your goals and desired learning outcomes. While the Common Core State Standards place a premium on vocabulary, the documents do not mention how to select words. With a few key ideas and strategies, teachers can make more intentional choices when selecting words and feel more confident about those selections.
