SLANT Strategy Lesson-A lesson about paying attention and listening
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
In this resource, students will learn about the strategy called S.L.A.N.T. This is a strategy to teach students how to pay attention and listen. This can be such a critical skill when students are in school, at home, and with their friends. SLANT stands for S-Sit up, L-Lean forward, A-Ask questions, N-Nod head, T-Track the speaker. Students will first be asked about what does "paying attention" and "listening" mean. They will also be encouraged to talk about who and what they need to pay attention to and listen to at home and school. Then they will learn about the SLANT strategy. They will be asked to participate in a partner activity in which they will tell about a happy memory for 2-3 minutes with a beginning, middle, and end for the story. They will then ask their partner a question about their memory to see if they were listening. The partner is allowed to ask 1-2 questions if they are unclear about some details. Next, they will swap roles and the person who shared is now the listener and vice versa. The PPT slideshow will prompt some questions about what was easy or challenging about this activity. The last part of the lesson is a fun game called "When someone claps twice." This is such a fun game that your students will want to play again and again. I placed this at the end of the lesson because you can play it as many times as time allows. There are 27 commands in the game . The teacher begins the game by passing out a strip of paper to each student. Some students may get 2 strips as there are 27 strips and you may not have 27 students. That is o.k.! It adds to the challenges. After the teacher claps twice, the student with the command "When the teacher claps twice, ..." needs to do the task on their strip of paper. Then the next student needs to do the task after the student does their task and so on. To reinforce the SLANT strategy, you can print off either slide 5 or 10 and put up in the classroom.

Reading Logs, Goal-Setting, and Reflection for Middle School Readers
ELA, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Grade 6, 7, 8, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
This 47-page editable resource, Reading Logs, Goal-Setting, and Reflection for Middle School Readers is a how-to lesson to help teachers center the importance of reading (and independent reading) in their 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Language Arts classrooms by having students be accountable for their reading. Students establish goals for their reading: the number of pages, minutes, and books they would like to read over the course of a grading period (quarter, trimester, or semester). They initially reflect on their feelings about reading, then establish goals for the first marking period. (The resource offers a step-by-step instruction for teachers to help students set reasonable and realistic goals for how much they want to read.) Each grading period, they review their goals to see if they achieved, surpassed, or fell short of achieving them. They reflect on their successes and challenges, and then. establish new goals. This resource offers teachers the following: a hyperlinked Table of Contents About this Resource- a handy guide with everything you need for this resource in one place a detailed lesson plan that includes how students can determine their reading goals Essential and Guiding Questions Standards, Objectives, and Learning Targets a sample Reading Requirements handout for a typical classroom which is easily editable to fit your needs a self-reflection as readers, before they establish goals the first time Reading Goals for each marking period (Quarters and Trimesters are included) which contain self-reflections for students to complete in which they celebrate their successes, identify their challenges, offer solutions for these challenges, and set new goals for the next grading period. Reading Log Template for Quarters or Trimesters for students to complete Reflections for each marking period End-of-Year Reflection with guiding questions for them to think about their goals, their successes, their challenges, what they learned about themselves as readers, favorite books or authors, etc. 6 Sample Student End-of-Year Reflections Most students don't read enough and many of our students read below grade level. As English teachers, we struggle with providing our students enough in-class time for reading, whether it's through SSR (Sustained Silent Reading) or DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) or some other carved out time for reading. Many teachers will tell you that they have tried reading logs, and students often cheat on them or don't turn them in. My experience has been different. By building in student accountability by having them establish reading goals, in addition to giving them 10-15 minutes of silent reading in class twice a week (or however much time you have dedicated to it), and by checking in with them regularly on their reading practice, students turn in their reading logs. Of course there has to be follow-through on the teacher's part by contacting parents, discussing with students how to choose the just-right book, making sure books are available, talking about reading, doing book talks, or having them do book talks, etc. You might be interested in the following resources that pair nicely with Reading Logs, Goal Setting, and Reflection for Middle School Readers. Part 1: What We Do When We Read: Teach or Review Reading Strategies for Middle School, When we read, our brain is engaging in subconscious activities related to what we are reading. In this lesson, students complete a reading survey, write a personal reading history, and through the poem, "The Voice You Hear When You Read Silently," by Thomas Lux, identify reading strategies we use subconsciously. Part 2: Reading Logs and Goal Setting for Middle School Readers, in this how-to lesson, teachers introduce what they expect from their students in terms of their accountability for their reading. Students have handouts to help them establish goals for their reading for each grading period: how many books they want to finish and how many pages they want to read, and a self-reflection on their accomplishments. Part 4: Summary Writing for Short Stories in your Middle School Classroom : A step-by-step lesson to teach students write a summary of a short story by completing a graphic organizer. Includes links to several stories. Also includes an optional group summary project In addition, using Chris Van Allsburg picture books. Part 5: Metacognitive Logs: Reading Response (Strategies to Teach) : Provides teachers with detailed lessons to teach students how to respond to literature by analyzing and interpreting their thoughts while reading. This process trains students to focus on their reading. There are many student examples and opportunities for interactive activities. I also offer a number of book reports that help students stay accountable to their reading.
