About the store
After having taught in traditional schools for several years, I switched to a project based learning school two years ago. I discovered that building projects was a strength of mine I never knew I had! Now, I wouldn't teach any other way.

Sticky Note Strategy PowerPoint (close reading)
This is a PowerPoint I created to demonstrate the sticky note strategy for close reading. I used it successfully to teach students how to use sticky notes to mark up their novels (the ones that do not belong to them). It includes sentence starters, symbols, standards, and other tips for teaching and modeling this close reading strategy. There are some slides that are specific to my class, but as always, you can edit it to meet your needs.

Experience

Teaching style
I prefer to set projects up for kids and let them do the learning. I leave breadcrumbs along the way to help pave their path to the learning goals, but they do all the work. Project based learning requires a lot of front-loading, but then, I can step back and let the students learn. I guide them and facilitate their learning process, but in the end, they come to their own conclusions, not mine.
