  • (12 pages PDF version and 12 Editable version)
  • Suitable for ANY grade and Subject Area

*******************************

*******************************

This resource includes:

------ 12 Accountable Talk / Classroom Talk Discussion Trackers (PDF version**)**

------ 12 Accountable Talk / Classroom Talk Discussion Trackers (EDITABLE version**)**

*******************************

Administrators walk into classrooms for observations and hear rigorous classroom talk among students. Ultimately, and this has happened with me, administrators may say, “Students were engaged in rigorous classroom talk, and that's great, but how are you tracking this discussion?” YIKES! Evidently, it all comes down to how you’re collecting and keeping track of data even during Classroom Talk.

This resource includes 12 different Accountable Talk / Classroom Talk Discussion Trackers (in different variations). Two of the Accountable Data Trackers are "Student Trackers" and titled “My Discussion Tracker” where students can keep track of their own participation during classroom talk. These trackers enable you to keep track of who's making:

  • Claims/Inferences
  • Supporting their Ideas with Evidence
  • Providing an Analysis or Explanation of their Claims/Inferences (Substance)
  • Volunteering their Ideas
  • Using Accountable Talk Stems
  • Engaging in Respectful Communication with Peers
  • Actively Listening
  • Making Connections
  • Building on Others’ Ideas
  • Not Contributing to Discussion
  • Not Using Accountable Talk Stems
  • Does Not Support Ideas with Evidence
  • Interrupting Others (as they speak)
  • Engaged in Side Activities
  • Lacking Substance

✅ Keeping track of students' oral participation will help you notice the participation patterns in the room and seek out those who have learned to fly under the radar!

✅ Some trackers also provides you opportunities to jot down important key points that students have shared during discussion as well as some interventions needed to help them engage better in classroom talk.

✅ All this information can be tracked in these Classroom Talk / Accountable Talk Discussion Trackers. The data captured in these trackers can greatly help you provide the necessary interventions needed to support students in rigorous classroom talk. These trackers can also help you monitor their progress and have evidence of student learning. Your administrators will love you for this!

✅ Additionally, all 12 Discussion Trackers come in EDITABLE forms, so you can easily modify according to your needs and your students’ needs.

PLEASE NOTE: The editable trackers do not contain the same fonts, borders, and clipart images as in the PDF version due to copyright purposes and requirements made by other contributing clipart artists. However, you may add your own borders and images to the editable version as well as change the fonts to your own style. The trackers themselves in the editable version are the same as the PDF version. The PDF version contains all the visually appealing fonts, clipart graphics, and borders.

Romeo and Juliet FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE ACTIVITY: Glossary, Quiz, Answer Key

By Rigorous Resources for High School English

Looking for a figurative language activity for William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet? This resource invites students to identify various types of figurative language found in Romeo and Juliet. The resource features a glossary with definitions of 7 types of figurative language as well as examples of how they're used in passages from the play. The resource also includes a three-page quiz in which students have to identify the type of figurative language used in each of 40 quotations from Romeo and Juliet. For teachers, the resource features an answer key that will enable you to grade students' quizzes quickly and efficiently.

Here's what you'll find in this editable 7-page resource:

  • Glossary of Figurative Language: The glossary features definitions for the 7 types of figurative language which appear most prominently in Romeo and Juliet: metaphor, simile, paradox, oxymoron, personification, apostrophe, and hyperbole. The glossary also includes examples of how Shakespeare uses each type of figurative language in passages from early scenes in the Romeo and Juliet. So you'll be able to review the types of figurative language with students before they've finished the play — and before they take the quiz. (1 page)
  • Quiz on Figurative Language: The quiz challenges students to identify 7 types of figurative language — metaphor, simile, paradox, oxymoron, personification, apostrophe, and hyperbole — used across 40 quotations from Romeo and Juliet. (3 pages)
  • Answer Key: The answer key provides the correct answer for each question on the quiz. Having an answer key will enable teachers to grade and return the quiz with speed and efficiency. (3 pages)

This entire resource will come to you in two separate formats: Word Docs *and* PDFs. Because the Word docs are fully editable, you'll be able to customize them to match the skill levels of your students — year after year! If you don't have Microsoft Word, you'll still be able to access PDF versions — which are easy to navigate and quick to print.

Rigorous Resources is your one-stop shop for top-quality resources on William Shakespeare. Wishing you an amazing experience with teaching Romeo and Juliet. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I love hearing from fellow teachers who share a passion for great literature! 

Happy teaching!

Biome Project - In Depth and Engaging!

By EduCraft Marketplace

This is a great project for APES or Biology! I used it for both, but for Biology I made some of the last tasks optional and changed some of the upper tasks to weigh a little bit more to balance it out to 100%. It includes the rubric, which is a checklist for the students and also for your grading convenience!

The students love it! It can be done individually or in pairs. It can be a gallery walk or presented to the class. I hope you and your students enjoy!

Here are the instructions: You will research a biome that you select from the proposed list. While researching your biome, you will learn about commonalities, locations, community interactions within it, and look at any environmental issues associated with the biome. The final part of your project will be a free-standing display on a poster board of all the information you gathered and you will be prepared to present this information to the class. Below is a rubric showing the research required for your display, and their point value. You will be presenting this to the class!

Do not simply “cut & paste” your information! It must be your own writing. Failure to use your own work is plagiarism!

ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

Citing Evidence Rubrics

16 pages

Suitable for Grades 5-12

PDF and Editable Versions

This resource includes:

4 Evidence-Based Response Rubrics (in two variations – totaling 8 rubrics!)

*******************************

Citing evidence is an important skill that students MUST master to demonstrate credibility, proficiency, and sense of eloquence. This resource includes four rubrics that capture students’ level of mastery when using evidence. These rubrics evaluate students’ abilities to support their ideas, inferences, claims, and/or responses with relevant text evidence. It also evaluates the strength and thoroughness of their explanations/analysis of evidence.

All 8 Rubric pages are EDITABLE for you to adjust and modify to meet your needs!

The four rubrics come in two different variations (totaling 8 rubrics):

Variation #1: The FOUR rubrics are created individually on one page and includes a “Comments/Feedback” section for you to complete.

Variation #2: The same FOUR rubrics are minimized to two (of the same rubric) on one page without the “Comments/Feedback” section.

Please note, the editable version does not contain the same fonts and borders that are in the PDF version because they are copyrighted materials by contributing clip art artists. The editable version has been created using Times New Roman fonts to ensure full and complete access of the rubrics without any formatting issues. Additionally, I replaced some of the copyrighted clip art with “free to use” clip art! You may modify the fonts and add your own clip art and borders as you wish!

Romeo and Juliet FINAL WRITING ASSIGNMENT: Analytical Essay Prompts & Rubric

By Rigorous Resources for High School English

Looking for a final writing assignment on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet? This resource features everything you'll need to lead students through the process of writing an analytical essay about Romeo and Juliet. The resource features 5 writing prompts which will motivate students to think with nuance about important themes in the play. The resource also includes scaffolding to help students select evidence, generate an outline, and begin writing. For teachers, the resource features an assessment rubric which can be used to grade and provide feedback on students' analytical writing.

Here's what you'll find in this editable 8-page resource:

  • Analytical Writing Assignment: Challenge students to take their interpretations one step further by writing an analytical paper on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Let students choose from one of 5 thought-provoking sample topics — or invite them to develop a topic of their own. Includes a handout introducing students to the elements in an analytical essay as well as a scaffolded writing schedule with each step in the essay writing process. (4 pages)
  • Outline Template: Scaffold the writing process by having students fill out an outline before they write their papers. The outline template has boxes where students can write out their hook, thesis, topic sentences, textual evidence, and so on. (3 pages)
  • Assessment Rubric: A detailed assessment rubric enables teachers to grade student papers in a fast and efficient manner. (1 page)

The entire unit will come to you in two separate formats: Word Docs *and* PDFs. Because the Word docs are fully editable, you'll be able to customize them to match the skill levels of your students year after year. If you don't have Microsoft Word, you'll still be able to access PDF versions which are easy to navigate and quick to print.

Rigorous Resources is your one-stop shop for top-quality resources on William Shakespeare. Wishing you an amazing experience with teaching the Romeo and Juliet. If you have any questions along the way, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I love hearing from fellow teachers who share a passion for great literature!
