LEARN NC

K–12 teaching and learning · from the UNC School of Education

I am currently a sixth grade teacher of English Language Arts at Clyde A. Erwin Middle School in Asheville, North Carolina. My classes are hetergeneously grouped from learning disabled to academically gifted.
I have taught seventh grade, kindergarten and sixth grade. I love the middle school age student.

Sticky-Note Discussions
Sticky-Notes discussions are fun, add variety to reading, and allow students to respond to the written text immediately. They are easy to implement in all content areas. Sticky-Note discussions are effective when used individually, in a small or large group, or a combination of settings.

Story Shackles (Linking Students To Written Text)
Chain your students to reading a given text critically!! Story Shackles is an imaginative and stimulating way for students to acquire the ability to retell events of a story or text, sequence the action or happenings in a story, or to simply summarize the plot, main ideas with supporting details, or general information of a story or text.
