Love this! True, I agree with her, but this is just an awesome example of opinion writing with supported arguments (claims backed by evidence) by a 7 year old. -- Love that she is writing for a real purpose and audience! What real purpose could we have our students write for? And actually mail the letters (and publish on our blogs).

What a great idea for fluency with poetry -- students narrate it in an app like Educreations, place it in a blog post, then have people vote. Love it!

Note: it takes a while to load. Once loaded, it is a game about punctuation... Cute. Probably 4th grade and up. (but with increased text complexity, 3rd grade and up). I don't think it will work on iPads, but haven't tried it out to be certain.

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.
