Reading Street Unit 3 Student Focus Boards (2013 Common Core Edition)

This PPT contains "Foucs Boards," or "Concept Boards" for each story in unit three of the Reading Street 2013 Common Core Edition. The focus boards contain a place for your students to respond to the weekly discussion question using words or pictures, as well as a spot to formatively assess every targeted skill for the week. Print each focus board as a two-sided handout and the students can write on the focus board, and review learning targets daily throughout the week that each story is taught. I project the focus board on my Smartboard daily so that we can add to the concept map during daily whole group instruction. I also use the focus boards to formatively assess the students' knowledge of targeted skills much like you would use a flash-back or exit slip.
