HNU Reading

There’s a world of writers out there, and in this lesson students discover them as they listen to presentations from local writers and learn about what, why, and how they write in their day-to-day lives..

Daily 5 ELA Work. I found this PDF on how to introduce the daily 5 ELA work into your classroom over 20 days and I really like it. I feel the only down side is it doesn't really explain all the steps so I will have to do more research. 

This is a great step by step guide to teaching the daily 5. I really like how it shows what to do with students and how to introduce new subjects.

Interesting way to organize your independent reading time everyday.

Seems like this could be a good resource to incorporate Blooms Taxonomy, ZPD, and many other theories we've been learning in EDUC 334. "This video-based course is an exploration of learning theory - appropriate for grades K-12 and all subject areas - for the training of preservice teachers and the professional development of inservice teachers. Hosted by Stanford University professor Linda Darling-Hammond, the 13 half-hour programs illustrate a variety of learning theories with applications to classroom practice. A Web site and print guide supplement the videos, with background readings, questions for discussion, and ongoing assignments that bring theory into practice."
