Reading Workshop
- Use the Pearson eText app to allow students to read and annotate
- Use Google Drive to share PDFs of text with students
- Students can use Notability to annotate while reading
- Digital Reading Response Log
- Each student creates a Doc and shares it with the teacher
- Each day write a few sentences about what they read and what they were thinking (my minimum: 1 sentence summary, 3 sentences about thinking - connecting it all together)
- Each student is assigned a day for the teacher to read and respond to their thinking
- Best Thinking Letter posted weekly using Kidblog
- Vocabulary
- keep a list of unknown words found in daily independent reading
- use the Dictionary app on an iPad to look up the word
- use a Doc to keep track of words
- Use Haiku Deck to share an oral summary of a book that has been read
Writing Workshop

- Share doc with teacher and/or peers to receive feedback
- Share doc with teacher to print for final unit assessment
- Students can create a shared doc to write a piece together (I used this with a Science topic following a shared class write)
- Use Haiku Deck to share informational research or biography
