Preparing for PARCC
Students need to practice note taking for PARCC. They will be writing Prose Constructed Responses and Evidence Based Selected Responses. Students need to be prepared to take notes on readings and videos. They do not have time to write out their responses and then type them into the boxes on the PARCC test. Also, the boxes on the PARCC test are small, but students need to realize that the boxes expand. If they only fill the small box without expanding it will not be enough.

Create a Treasure hunt using Google Maps. You or your students could create these treasure hunts. If you have used Tour Builder in the past you will love this new option.
Grades 3-12

Teachers and students use this site for review of knowledge/skills. This is a nice alternative to Quizlet.
Post it
Upload an image and then identify the parts. Once you show the students how to drag this is very simple to use.

Mrs. Julie Breden's Physics Classes
Mrs. Breden was selected to be part of a documentary on engagement and teaching the new Illinois Learning standards. The students in Mrs. Breden's classes are doing research on improving a motion in a sport. The students get to select the sport and the skill. They will create a video to show proof of the improvement. While working on this project they are meeting ELA and math standards. Congratulations Mrs. Breden on being selected as a state leader.
