Homeschool EFL - ESL - ELD Interactive Notebooks (by date, oldest first)

Smash Doodles are a great way to assess reading while encouraging creativity, whether in ELA or ELL. I love using this at the end of the year to demonstrate that a student can read independently and show what they know. Plus, it's easy to grade! Also, a great resource for homeschooling at any age. The set up for these Smash Doodles (with the rubric) make it easy to grade.

Included:

1. Instructions

2 Smash Doodle Sheet that students fill out to make sure they meet all the criteria.

3. A second Smash Doodle Sheet that allows for more creativity

4. Easy to use rubric.

5. Criteria that pushes students to think critically and make use of best practices in reading comprehension.

So, what is it?

A Smash Doodle is a way to show what students have learned from the chapter or reading assigned. It involves creativity, color, the most important vocabulary, students' thoughts and questions.

Who is it for?

This resource works for any level of students and any reading. It can be used with novels, short stories, poetry, and even non-fiction. This assignment is automatically differentiated as students will choose the vocabulary that they need and not simply a list dictated by the teacher. It allows students to show their knowledge with images that they feel best represent the reading without compromising content.

What does the assignment include?

This particular Smash Doodle assignment includes:

1. The title of the reading (and chapter of the book if applicable)
2. 5 vocabulary words in English with the definition and a hand-drawn picture in color.
3. 3 thoughts about the chapter
4. 3 quotes from the book with page numbers to practice citations
5. 3 questions. It could be things you are curious about or questions for characters
6. A main image that represents the chapter.

Print at 80% and include in your interactive journals.
