#2ndaryELA is a group of middle and high school English Language Arts teachers looking to share ideas and best practices. We chat every Tuesday night at 8 pm EST using #2ndaryELA. We'd love for you to join us!
I'm a junior in a teacher preparation course at Elizabethtown College! Looking for ways to integrate ELA more in a Social Studies classroom! #2ndaryELA#livechat
A1: I usually have looked at book lists and asked the librarian, but this year my kids are making suggestions and creating a year long list for me #2ndaryELA
A3: We teach the graphic novels American Born Chinese and The Arrival together each year. The kids love ABC (so hilarious and relevant). The Arrival has no words and is perfect for working on inferencing skills. #2ndaryELA
A4: We use YouTube and have found some great things to use and we also have offered some PBL chances for kids to make their own pieces for our current unit (social experiments, infographics, art, poetry, etc.) #2ndaryELA
A4: I try preview all content before I show it to my classes. I like the infographics from USA Today. I look for official YouTube channels from well known sources. #2ndaryELA
A2 finding nonfiction books for the classroom I think is an awesome way to integrate ELA into a Social Studies classroom. I would love to collaborate with ELA teachers to find books to fit my units! #2ndaryELA#livechat#SSEDMETHODS
A5: We use some notice and note but mostly color it up activities and deliberately pick pieces to teach how to annotate for specific components of nonfiction before annotating a piece for all aspects independently #2ndaryELA
