i got the idea from Step up to Writing and tweaked it to meet my needs.
we start with 3 blues which are the attention grabbers - can be questions or statements. then the last sentence is the thesis/topic sentence, setting up the 3 middle paragraphs. each main idea is black, with the reds being facts or examples or details - however use wish to say it. finally, at the end, we have 3 blues, stating anything not previously stated, and a conclusion, restating the thesis.
i love the colors, because as i walk the room, my eye can look for all of the greens, or the blacks, depending on what my focus is for that day. also, the colors help the students to make sure that they have everything that is required. hope this helps. susan

Hi, I purchased this resource. However, 2 or 3 of the slides have slides on top of them and can't be read. I didn't want to leave a bad review, but it can't be used like it is. Can you please fix it so I can redownload it? Then, I'll leave you a review. Also, it would have been better if it was a regular powerpoint and interactive. Just suggestions. Thanks.

Janelle Field (TpT Seller) re: fraction lesson plans
Susan...I just downloaded your Fraction Lesson Plans from your site. However, I am wondering if I could get more details for the lesson 6.1 Fraction Concepts, 6.1 Equivalent Fractions, and 10.3 Multiply Fractions and Whole Numbers For example, what is In the Cookie Jar? What are the directions to Roll Out the Fractions, how do you play Match Your Fraction Game with Dominoes? I just am missing some of the large componenets to complete these lessons that you have on your site. Any help/ additions that you can give me, I would love! You have great ideas here, I just need more information to do those above lessons! Thanks you! Janelle jfield@bbe.k12.mn.us

lcgalizio re: weekly writing assessment
Your example isn't clear. What does the actual document include?
January 2, 2011
susan millan (TpT Seller)
it's a quick formative assessment type. includes choosing a character and describing the said character. the student must be prepared to cite 2 examples from the given text. then, the student is asked to give a 10-15 word concise summary. hope this helps you. i've found it to be a quick check on character development/summarizing.

there are 3 posters and they deal with the 3 areas that 3rd graders in my school district study: sounds, life cycles, and rocks and minerals. they are merely posters for your word wall.

Katharine Krueger (TpT Seller) re: 4 corners fractions posters
I bought and downloaded this. All I see are four fraction posters. Whereas from your description, I was expected to get this posters along with the description of a 30 minutes activity that I would use these posters for. By themselves, the posters are pretty unhelpful.

You have two separate sheets - one is a reading accountablility sheet, the other is a recording sheet - but they are both the same sheet. I'm not happy that I paid twice for the same item. When I opened the files, they are both a reading accountablilty sheet. Is there another sheet available?
thanks,

HOw many genres are represented in posters? Do the posters print 81/2 by 11?
July 3, 2009
susan millan (TpT Seller)
i only included 3: myth, autobiography, and humorous fiction. i chose those 3 because i have a store-bought set, but that set is missing these 3 genres.
the posters do print at 8 1/2 by 11.
thanks for the questions.
