Let's Go Language

I created these posters to help teach students how to read complex text in a scaffolded way. To learn more, see my unit plan (http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/How-to-Close-Read-Texts-A-Unit-of-Study-807333) or view the video (http://engageny.org/resource/close-reading-strategies-with-informational-text-by-expeditionary-learning) from the EngageNY site. It corresponds to the Expeditionary Learning Modules posted there. These posters should be printed on 11 x 17 paper set to LANDSCAPE-NO

We use these instead of stickers and prizes. Chances are, if a student earns this as a reward (it costs 10 good behavior tickets), they can handle missing one homework assignment. We also put these in their holiday gift bags sometimes. Print double sided!

I used this to add some fun to an otherwise irritating endeavor--using my data binder to keep track of things that I would be doing anyway. I printed this out onto colored card stock to bring it to a whole other level. For the divider pages, I then printed out tabs with each students' name and then taped them to the edge. Voila! Cheap, colorful, extremely useful dividers. If you need a modification, send me a message and I'll modify the file a bit.
