The Basal Alignment Project offers:
A library of revised lessons for common Basal reading series (3rd-5th grades), each carefully aligned to the CCSS. Each new lesson includes quality text-dependent questions, improved tasks, and a focus on academic vocabulary.
Text Dependent questions -- 3rd-5th grades for Harcourt Trophies
There's also a 6th-8th grade group too.
These groups rewrite the questions of the book. -- We can always look at the quality and bump it up if needed. But, much of the work is done as a starting point.
Just join on Edmodo using the codes listed on these pages.
The Electronic Iditarod---follow mushers as they race (in March) and communicate with them. Good follow-up activity for the dog stories some grade levels read in Harcourt. Registration ends January 28 for this year.
