The Study Island topics this week are "Multiple Meaning Words" and "Theme." "Multiple Meaning Words" is due by the end of the day on Thursday, and "Theme" is due by the end of the day on Monday.
We are currently involved in a Study Island contest. All of my class sections are competing against each other to win Dunkin Donuts. Period 4/5 is currently in the lead!
Some photos of students completing a text analysis jigsaw:
I often mention Study Island group sessions. A group session is when the entire class accesses Study Island and logs onto the same session. I project passages/questions onto the board. We can see who is logged on, who answered, the number of correct answers, and the number of incorrect answers. I am able to use this to provide flexible instruction. I use that information to identify needs and reteach as needed.
Please note that the names of the students with correct/incorrect answers is only known to the teacher who accesses this information at a later date.
Have a great week!
