TCRWP - Teachers College Reading & Writing Project WORDLESS VIDEOS FOR ELT – ELT-CATION ELT-cation is turning 3 years old this month. And that takes the cake. Or a new post. Last year I posted a few games to celebrate the occasion (see Play & Learn Games); this year I’ve decided to throw a “movie night” party and share my favourite wordless videos. These films are: short (about 2-4 minutes) highly engaging, and appropriate for learners of all levels. Such films can be used to warm up the class before your lesson begins, during the lesson – you may tie them into your lesson topic or use them to give your students a break – or at the end of class to assign a “mission” to your students (read more in READY FOR A ONE-MINUTE MISSION?). One film that is sure to break the ice and make your students give their eye teeth for yet another lesson with you is Teeth by John Kennedy & Ruairí O’Brien Trapped – A film by Joe J. The film is ideal for problem-solving sessions. Everything will be okay in the end. Unless they fall into a black hole. The Black Hole – A film by Future Shorts. Like this:

Writer’s Workshop Anchor Charts I’ve always been a big fan of writing. I love to see the progress my kids make throughout the year…it’s always so remarkable!! No matter what stage they’re at when I get them, they always grow. Even a *little* growth is A LOT! I was excited to start Writer’s Workshop this week. Even though I love teaching writing, I always feel like this is an area where I can improve. My littles were excited to get their draft books on Monday. Then we read Click, Clack, Moo and talked about why the animals & farmer in the story wanted to write. We revisited our anchor chart today and made another. After I showed them examples of all of my writing, we made another little anchor chart all about WHAT writers write… I’m hanging all of these up in our little “Do you have a writer’s eye?” LOVING our Writers Workshop time so far!!! Tomorrow we’ll be creating a “What Can Writer’s Write About?” I’d love to hear about any fun activities you do to kick off writing in your classroom!! Happy Wednesday!!

All-in-One Teacher Binder {printable} I just love binders! I like how everything can be sorted into neat little, hidden files, then stowed away oh so nicely on the shelf. However, I think I might like binders (as in the plural form) a bit too much. See photo evidence here. Thanks to the fabulous Leslie, from Kindergarten Works, I have decided to consolidate my system. Leslie just posted an incredible entry on her blog about how she keeps everything important together in one binder, in her post on Binder Basics. Anyhow, I have kept my lesson plans and district standards together in the past, but usually kept other items in different binders and folders. I started by making my own laminated tabs, so they could be a bit bigger and color-coordinated the way I want. I made four larger tabs for the basic categories: Planning, Assessing, Grading, and Info. Planning Yearlong Calendar (Leslie shares a fantastic one on her blog!)
