The Greatest Night in Pop (2024) movie analysis questions! We Are the World!
By The Red-Haired Reader
On January 28th, 1985, dozens of the time period’s most popular musicians gathered in Los Angeles to record a charity song for African famine relief. Setting stylistic differences and egos aside, they collaborated on a song that would make history. This documentary, which debuted at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, examines how the song came to be, who was involved, and the implications of the recording.
This Doc (printable OR digital) asks students 9 thought-provoking questions for during and after viewing the film. This is NOT a guided viewing assignment; it's a series of thought-provoking questions that asks them to consider the film as a whole and to synthesize what they might already know about these musicians and the event with what they saw in the film. They are asked about the title, the lyrics to "We Are The World", the impact of the event, who planned the event and why, the artists who participated, the arrangement of the recording, the public's response, the impact of the song during this particular time period, etc.
I use this with my high school elective "Lyrics as Literature" with 9-12th graders, but I'd feel comfortable using it with upper middle school students as well.
Writing Peer Assessment for Quick and Easy Grading | Formative | Rubric Student
By Perfectly Planned Designs
Have stacks of essays and writing assignments you need to grade and looking for a quick and easy way to grade them? Look no further, scoop up these Writing Peer Assessments which come 2 per page and put the bulk of the grading task on the students themselves! Working with their peers, students first read the writing assignments or essays, then list their strengths and weaknesses. At this point, you can also give them copies of rubrics to reference as well. After doing a deep-dive into the writing assignment, students then assign a grade and staple their Peer Writing Assessment slip to the front and all you need to do is review the comments and decide if you agree with the grade given. In the end, the grade given by the teacher is final! Although I don't utilize this method for EVERY essay I grade, I definitely turn to these peer assessments when grading becomes overwhelming!

Fiction and nonfiction fluency with retell
By Basic Biz Teaching
Do you students work on fluency? If your answer is yes, then this product is for you!
My students have been absolutely obsessed with rainbows this year, so I gave this common retell practice a makeover by adding a simple splash of color! Let me just say… my students LOVED IT!
I use this product in both whole group and small group settings!! Curious? Here's how!
Whole group:
While reading our Wonders weekly stories, my students will be asked to turn to their partners and give a retell of the story. Sometimes we do this after each page, sometimes halfway through the story, sometimes after we're done. Why? My kids have learned quickly to pay attention to what we're reading because you never know when a partner retell is coming!
Small group:
Mondays are fluency day in our class!
First, we discuss what type of text we're reading based on the title. We get our partners and quickly decide who's reading first and who's giving feedback first. After the minute timer goes off, the reading partner uses the printout as a guide for their retell based on if the story is fiction or nonfiction. Feedback partner listens and uses to rubric and dry erase markers (we keep ours in our sheet protectors to cut down on copies).
It's been a great experience!
