Description
Adding analysis verbs to the daily conversation about student writing will boost test scores. More importantly, it encourages students to focus their thinking and produce better essays. Even better, the verb introduction is paired with meaningful quotes that could serve as great self-reflection and growth mindset conversations!
The goal here is two-fold:
- Students have an immediate purpose when they walk into the classroom.
- Analysis Verbs are important!
Each slide has a three minute timer. During that time, students will record the definition and usage of the word of the day on their Cornell Note sheet. Once that time is complete (and attendance is taken!!), go over the verb itself and the sample SCR paragraph!
After sixteen days of verb introduction, students will be challenged to use the verbs in their writing!
- As an added bonus, each slide also includes circled words that can be used to boost vocabulary.
- Each slide has been adjusted enough to be used as reference cards OR print bigger for posters.
While the list has been compiled for a general education Ninth Grade English class, it would make a great addition to any Pre-AP or AP curriculum:
- print the Cornell Note sheet for each student.
- delete the SCR slides and any additional slides.
- assign students to complete the notes and give the SCR slides as a quiz!
UPDATED! Now includes printable posters for easy anchor charts and a quiz that asks students to use three verbs with passages from Unusual Normality and Dead Men's Path.
