Teaching with Centers...Macbeth, "Out, damned spot! Out, I say!"
All I can say is, "prepare!" Well, that's not really it...but I feel like it is!
We are concluding our first center for Macbeth. We divided the center tasks into Acts which really helped us in planning. The planning was also effective because we were able to see if the assessments needed tweaking as we went from act-to-act.
Today, our trainer visited us. She comes to our school once a month for observing, consulting, coaching, and motivation. My co-teaching partner and I began this journey back in November, 2012. Will I ever master all the ways to differentiate? Does anyone? I love it so far.
Here are a couple of tips from Study All Knight:

- when in doubt, tic-tac-toe everything!
- Save every rubric on your drive(s)
- TASK CARDS!
- Find generic assessments that you can tailor for every unit!
- reflect, re-use, re-invent!

Epic Poem: BEOWULF! Graphic Novels, Scrapbooks and Posters. Another Successful Year!
This last week was amazing! I witnessed and assessed the most amazing projects.
Back in my day, Beowulf was a rather unpopular reading among my classmates. Today, I am proud to say that we've made it exciting! Memorable! And easy to comprehend!
Beowulf the super hero. Beowulf the loyal warrior. Beowulf the most courageous Anglo-Saxon.
We made some cool connections to modern superheroes versus Beowulf and their qualities. Iron Man, Thor, Superman, seemed to be the most popular this year. This helps students understand what is was like when Beowulf came to the Danish shores and how Beowulf fought Grendel without a weapon. His reason, "Grendel will fight me with his bare hands. So I will do the same..."
This year I am an in class resource teacher for 5 periods. This is my third year in using our final assessment, "Beowulf Graphic Novels". Students depict Beowulf applying their own comic strip style art work and original dialogue and text. The fight scenes are amazing!
The graphic novel assignment was first presented by sharing published examples and students' samples from previous years. Then, we allow students to form groups based on their strengths (an artist, a writer, a planner, an editor...)
Then, we present a handout on graphic novel terms and instructions on how to assemble a final product.
The project takes about 2 weeks of class time and 1 day of reflection and self/peer assessment.
Each group's final project was a clear visual depiction each battle's scenes. We required a title page, and the pages had to be attached in whatever manner the group wished.
We allowed students to use personal devices to search online for alternative graphic ideas and styles.
Some used captions from the book which were followed by their own text.
