News flash: Correcting nonstandard dialects doesn't really help students learn to speak or write in formal English. So should teachers just let kids talk (and write) how they want?

(T-shirt beschikbaar! Zie https://teespring.com/fundamental-trigonograph of https://teespring.com/fundamental-trigonograph-unlbl) Een "trigonograaf" is een diagram dat een trigonometrisch principe illustreert en het idealiter duidelijk maakt. De Fundamentele Trigonograaf, het onderwerp van deze poster, presenteert de zes trigfuncties op een manier die een intuïtief begrip van hun eigenschappen, hun onderlinge relaties en zelfs hun namen bevordert. (Ik ben zo dol op dit diagram dat ik er mijn winkellogo naar heb getekend!) De aankoop omvat drie afdrukbare ontwerpen: een traditionele verklarende poster met beschrijvende tekst; een ‘heldenportret’ van de fundamentele trigonograaf zonder de omringende tekst; en een minimalistisch 'kunstzinnig heldenportret' voor degenen die de esthetische aantrekkingskracht van het diagram op prijs stellen.

Over the years, my students have come to sessions seeking help with literary devices. They have expressed confusion over the terms: literary devices, literary terms, literary elements and figurative language, and they also struggle with the many definitions. What are Literary Devices, Literary Terms, Literary Elements and Figurative Language? Literary Devices are creative writing strategies used by an author to convey his or her message(s). When used well, literary devices help readers to visualize, interpret and analyze literary texts. There are two kinds: literary techniques (which includes figurative language) and literary elements. Literary Techniques are words or phrases in texts of literature that writers use to achieve artistic or creative expression. Literary techniques also help readers to visualize, understand and appreciate literature. Literary Elements are components or pieces that make up a story or literary work. Figurative Language is the creative use of words and phrases that offers a hidden meaning beyond any literal interpretation. How Can Students Understand The Global Concept? I created an image to help students “see” the big picture as well as understand the individual components. Although I have not included all possible literary devices, I have included what I believe to be the most common ones. I hope you agree. Click Here to download a free copy of this image.

The language spoken in the lessons is English. Here are some phrases about classroom language you should know, understand, or be able to use.
Last year, I found (and made my own version of) a study sheet called "Words into Math" for my students in Algebra 1. (Credit: I Speak Math) I decided this summer to adapt it using posters, word strips and velcro into an activity. I bought colored poster boards at the Dollar Tree and began cutting out each sign from a different color. I drew the arrow and parentheses on half sheets of white poster board. I had bought word strips the year before at the Dollar Tree (yes, it is one of my favorite stores!) I wrote out all the words from the sheet above on the word strips and trimmed them. I cut 1 inch strips of velcro and placed the soft side on the words and the other side on the posters. Here is a picture of my work in progress. This is what the students will see when they come in. I will hand out the words on strips when they walk in. Since there are 34 words, some students will get more than one. I will explain the activity and have a couple of students at a time place their word(s) on the poster(s). If someone is struggling, he/she can ask a classmate for help. As a group, we will discuss the words and determine if all of them are placed properly. This is my intro to word problem solving for all levels that I teach. It will be new to some and a refresher for others. These will be hung at the back of the classroom from the ceiling on clips with string (Lakeshore Learning store in Tampa). This is what the activity looks like when it's ready to store. Words into Math UPDATED: I noticed that the picture of the Words into Math Worksheet and the uploaded doc had errors. Both of those have been corrected and re-upoaded. Sorry for any inconvenience!
I LOVE saving figurative language until June - it's such a fun language unit ... and perfect for our "dreaming of summer brains". We finished up our EQAO testing mid week, and this onomatopoeia activity was the perfect break from testing. How fun is that??? Students chose two contrasting colours - one for the background and one for the word and border "bursting out of the page". They also needed newspaper (cut just a fraction smaller that the "bursting out of the page border" and glued the newspaper on top. They glued their word on top of that (we had brainstormed a lot of onomatopoeia words, but for some reason most of them chose SPLAT for their word). I also had them do a little shading under their letters for that little extra POP (see, I know some onomatopoeia words, too). ;) I had seen this awesome idea on Pinterest and followed it back to Artisan des Arts. Her examples are FANTASTIC!! We also wrote simile poems this week. I found a little template HERE for the students to use for their rough copies. When students were finished their templates, I had them write out their good copies, and illustrate a few lines with a small image. I hung these up, too ... LOVING our bulletin board switch up ... even this late in the school year!!! (I have two of these "smART class" bulletin boards side by side in the classroom. 15 more school days left ... I think I can ... I think I can ... Happy Friday!!!
