This is a way of giving some structure for your students to observe the moon phases and document what they see. Students are given a circle as well as space for the date of the entry and space for the name of the phase. If you copy the journal double-sided, you can get them to observe an entire lunar cycle.

Looking for a way to integrate writing into your curriculum? This project-based assessment for math has students create their own polygon world. Students are responsible for a visual that draws on their knowledge of polygons as well as small written pieces explaining plot, character, characters, and setting of their made up world. Designed and executed as a cooperative project, students could also complete the task individually.

If you're like me, drawing is not a strength. You also have a classroom that could never hold all your charts. These PDFs can be printed as mini-posters, blown up as posters, or projected on the board. These posters are from the first few sessions of Reader's Workshop.
