I came a across some good probing questions from a variety of sources, but my challenge was making critical thinking tasks FUN!<br />
<br />
In this game, players choose a "Red Riding Hood" card and answer
questions about a story.<br />
<br />

<br />
Upon answering a question, players choose a "Wolf"
card and carry out a wacky command. You will need tokens for this game. <br />

The question cards can be applied to any book that
you're reading with your students. The "Wolf" cards can be used for a
variety of other activities. Here are the rules...<br />

I have started to organize all areas of language development into a hierarchy. This helps me track progress better and also helps my students with achieving their goals. <br />
<br />
In this download, you will find 8-steps to helping students achieve
pragmatic appropriateness. You also get sample activities for each
pragmatic skill targeted, as well as conversation starter strips and fun
facts for kids.<br /><br />

I had to think of something that I could keep up for more than a few months. So... I had my students create their "t-errific" shirts with their goals and I don't plan on redecorating any time soon. <br />

Since I don't always have time to plan ahead, I often find myself having to come up with a homework task on the spot. And so I created "short-n-sweet" questions which target almost all aspects of speech and language development. All you have to do is make copies, cut, and distribute. I was inspired by various pinterest posts and used clip art from cindy park at TPT.<br />

<br />
I have developed a 13-step writing intervention program. I use these
steps to improve my students' writing and I have found that it really
makes a big difference. Some of the steps are from "Prevention and
Intervention of Writing Difficulties for Students with Learning
Disabilities," a research article by Steve Graham, Karen R. Harris, and
Lynn Larsen. Some of the steps are originals, which I felt were
important enough to include. Students are motivated throughout the
process because the intervention is broken down into 13 simple and
MANAGEABLE steps. I really think your students will benefit from this as much as mine have.<br />

Great BINGO game for the younger ones. I use it to target vocabulary, colors (of course), turn-taking, matching, "WH" questions (e.g., Where can you find a tractor?) and object function (e.g., "What is a shovel used for?").Mrs.Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09035515602336178189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148149562850610589.post-91584655286154080132012-08-05T17:33:00.000-07:002012-08-05T17:33:17.744-07:00Meet Tic-Tac-Tony<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've had this game for a while now and it never disappoints. It is similar to Connect Four, but children get to put the red or blue circle on Tony's tail, push down, and as they let go, the shape jumps into an empty space. I use this will all ages, even with some of my higher functioning EI toddlers. It is a great motivator and I also sneak in some spatial prepositions while playing (e.g., top/bottom, next to, etc.). Also targets turn-taking.<br />Mrs.Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09035515602336178189noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148149562850610589.post-69970838240543492632012-08-05T17:04:00.000-07:002012-08-12T18:00:05.519-07:00For those of you who have not yet received tenure, here is a questionnaire for parents to help you build your porfolio<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This activity addresses 1) anger management 2) inferencing 3) comparing/contrasting. Students color a picture of a boy or a girl, then tear up the picture into several pieces. Explain to the students that each tear represents hurtful words (have a group discussion on teasing/bullying in school). Then, have the students try and put the pieces back together, like a puzzle.<br />
<br />

Most of the students are not able to make the picture whole again, but even if they succeed, the picture will not look the same. It will have "scars."<br />

Each time that students say hurtful things to one another, they are creating scars which may never fully heal.<br />
<br />
Discuss similarities and differences between the before and after pictures. What can they conclude for this activity? What can they infer about bullying? Great for older groups.<br />

Instead of having students choose a prize from a prize box (which is quite time consuming as my students are very indecisive), they will now get to "Punch-A-Prize." This was originally created by: tekyteach.blogspot.com. My version is a bit smaller and I hope to use it throughout the school year.<br />
<br />
To make your own Punch-A-Prize, you will need a poster board, styrofoam bowls, tissue paper, and duck tape. Simply put a prize in a bowl, cover it with tissue paper and attach to the board. Voyila!Mrs.Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09035515602336178189noreply@blogger.com0
