anchored?

As teachers we are supposed to put up charts that get used as part of the lesson but then get hung up for the kids to refer to when they are working. Like, “oh yeah, that is how I write about character feelings.”

But with these crazy teaching points for test prep, my charts look like wordy signs of distraction and confusion. “think about character thoughts, actions and feelings! Oh and sequence of events!”

I can’t wait for the lesson on poetry that teaches imagery, figurative language, mood and tone. One lesson.
