Somebody Needs You!!!

Larry Bell Information!

We had another exciting meeting with Larry Bell.  Here are a few things that other schools are doing.  You might also want to incorporate these ideas into your classroom.

*  Each grade level research which words are giving students a hard time and come up with your own list of 12 words.

*  Use the 12 words in your essential questions and objectives.

*  Using iphoto and comic life, create a comic page with students in various stages of the twelve words.  For example the word is "TRACE"  2-3 pics of student outlining different things.  The definition; a sentence and student generated question.

*  Use UNRAAVEL with a released test item on the activeboard.  Students go to the board and practice underlining title; numbering paragraphs etc.

*  Some schools are doing a mock test every Friday.  Shorter than benchmark then working up to longer passages.

*  Creating games such as concentration and I Have/Who Has to be put into centers.  Many such games are in the 12 words book.

*  Gradually lengthen all assessments weekly so that at least at the end they are testing at least for an hour.  25% of your last major test should be added to the next test.

*  He suggests that if a student finishes early; they should put both hands on the top of the desk and stare straight ahead.

Larry's main message is to present the information in a positive way and create an environment where our students feel safe and can be successful.
