7th Grade ELA

Who says students always have to use textbooks to learn about or identify a new skill? During Reader’s Workshop, students learned how to identify theme using Pixar animated short films and submitted their responses using a Google Form.


               

As soon as students got to work, the classroom began buzzing with student engagement and accountable talk. While working with his partner, one students said, “This is the best assignment ever!” Students were required to support their answers with evidence from the films.



                       


Giving students hands on opportunities allows them to take ownership of their learning.
