Self-Evaluation and Reflection Tool: Back-to-School Bellringers

Self-Evaluation and Reflection Tool: Back-to-School Bellringers
ELA, Grade 6, 7, 8, Teacher Tools, Assessments

The Self-Evaluation and Reflection Tool: Back-to-School Bellringers for Middle School English Language Arts is an ideal formative assessment to carry out with your students during the initial two weeks of school, while you're checking attendance. Each day, students are required to complete a brief survey consisting of 5-8 questions, followed by a daily self-reflection question, over eight days. For convenience, each page includes two identical surveys, facilitating easy duplication. The surveys in this Self-Evaluation and Reflection Tool: Back-to-School Bellringers cover a range of topics such as Time Management, Concentration and Memory, Note-taking, Test-taking, Attitude and Motivation, Active Reading, and Writing. The brief surveys included encourage students to reflect on their various habits, practices, and skills with first-person affirmations, like keeping track of tasks by noting them in a planner, studying in a distraction-free environment, annotating texts while reading, creating study aids like flashcards for tests, paying attention to their thoughts during reading, seeking help when needed, re-reading to comprehend their reading, and reviewing their writing for grammatical errors. They can respond with either Always, Usually, Sometimes, or Never. Each survey ends with a consistent self-reflection question: "Choose one statement from the survey where you did not mark 'Always' and reflect upon it. What could you change?" The surveys may be used as formative assessments to inform further instruction. They can also be used in interactive notebooks for students to compare beginning to end of the year responses and how they might have changed. This resource pairs nicely with my lesson plan: Academic Progress and Citizenship for Middle School Students: Goals and Reflections. In this lesson plan, students learn how to set attainable academic and citizenship goals for each grading period. At the end of the grading period, they reflect on their goals, their successes, their challenges, and what they did to overcome them. Then they repeat the process for each grading period. At the end of the year, they reflect on their experience with setting goals for the year.

FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS AND ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX HERE Lesson Snapshot Title: Marshmallows Genre: Nonfiction Subject: Science (informational reading) Primary Topic: How marshmallows become foam; heat and pressure Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): N What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains what a marshmallow is (a sweet foam) and how tiny air bubbles get trapped inside. Describes the process of making marshmallow mixture turn “fluffy” as it is beaten and thickens. Builds word knowledge through the origin of the name “marshmallow” from the marsh mallow plant and its “root sap.” Connects cause-and-effect in simple “food science”: heat toasts the outside and melts the inside; air pressure can make marshmallows puff up or shrink. Provides aligned support pages (trivia, questions, vocabulary tasks, writing, and extensions) that reuse the passage’s key ideas and terms. Learning Goals Explain why a marshmallow is called a “foam” using details from the text. Describe how air gets trapped in marshmallow ingredients while they are whipped or beaten. Tell why marshmallows are dusted with cornstarch. Explain where the word “marshmallow” comes from, based on the passage. Describe what heat does to a marshmallow over a fire or in hot chocolate. Describe how changes in air pressure can make marshmallows change size. Key Vocabulary From the Text Gelatin — ingredient that helps mixture set and hold bubbles. Cornstarch — powder dusted on marshmallows so they don’t stick. Cylinders — tube shapes, like short, round rolls. Sap — sticky liquid from a plant’s root. Pressure — force of air that can make bubbles shrink or grow. Cored Ed Encyclopedia Overview The Cored Ed Encyclopedia is a weekly series of lessons that you can pick up and use right away. These short readings fit into whatever time you have available. Each one includes a warm-up, a reading, and a set of questions, but it’s flexible — you can do just the reading, the full lesson, or skip the writing section if you need to. Each lesson focuses on a single topic so students don’t get lost. The writing is clear but never childish, making it perfect for grades two through five. Topics range from animals and science to history, inventions, and everyday things. No matter the level of the student, everyone should take away at least one new idea or fact from each lesson. The materials are easy to print, easy to explain, and require no setup. They work well for whole-class teaching, partner work, or independent study.
