Being Social

March 7, 2013 by Amber Leave a Comment

If you haven’t noticed, twitter and other social networking sites (BeBo, Plurk, FB, etc) are making their presence known in ALL ages and walks of life. Take advantage of the opportunity to A: discuss the appropriate and inappropriate cyber behaviors and B: turn a boring review assignment into something they will be more engaged in while still accomplishing a complex TEK!
**Example: Let two students pick a mathematician, an artist, a scientist, a woman (hello march & womans history month), or a character in a story, and have a conversation about what all the different facets of the page mean. Have them fill it out “in character”.
3.8 Students understand, make inferences and draw conclusions about the structure and elements of fiction and provide evidence from text to support their understanding. Students are expected to:
(B) describe the interaction of characters including their relationships and the changes they undergo; and
(C) identify whether the narrator or speaker of a story is first or third person.
4.6 Students understand, make inferences and draw conclusions about the structure and elements of fiction and provide evidence from text to support their understanding. Students are expected to:
(A) sequence and summarize the plot’s main events and explain their influence on future events;
(B) describe the interaction of characters including their relationships and the changes they undergo; and
(C) identify whether the narrator or speaker of a story is first or third person.
TAKS Objective 2: The student will apply knowledge of literary elements to understand culturally diverse written texts)
Create a space for them to hang it up and encourage students who get finished top create their own when you/they have time.
I’ve attached a facebook template and here is a twitter template site, 🙂
socially,
Amber
