Thinking Like a Historian: Observing and Sourcing a Personal Document or Artifact
ELA, Social Studies, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Writing, History, History: USA, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
Thinking Like a Historian: Observing and Sourcing a Personal Document or Artifact is a highly engaging and interactive mini-unit of 4 or 5 days for 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. It is designed to have your students work collaboratively as historians to look at primary source documents and artifacts as evidence from their lives. In the process, they will learn the kinds of questions to ask about historical artifacts and documents to help them interpret their meaning and importance. The purpose of this lesson is to help them understand how historians interpret evidence, especially from primary source documents as well as artifacts. The lesson introduces or reviews key concepts and terms: primary source and secondary source documents, artifacts, evidence, and interpretation. It also provides teachers with an opportunity to introduce or review what it means to work collaboratively in small groups to make meaning of documents or artifacts. Finally, students will reflect on their experience and what they learned. The mini-unit includes objectives and learning targets aligned with Common Core Standards of Literacy in History, a detailed lesson plan, student worksheets for analyzing personal documents/ and artifacts, a sample chart for group work collaboration, and a student reflection worksheet for them to reflect on their experience as a historian. In addition, I include a parent/guardian letter in English and Spanish explaining the unit. Objectives Students will define key historical concepts and terms: primary source, secondary source, artifacts, evidence, and interpretation. Students will give examples of what primary source and secondary source documents are. Students will give examples of artifacts. Students will examine personal primary source documents and artifacts and will ask questions about the documents to help them understand the historical significance of it or its meaning. Students will do a close read or close examination for evidence about the document or artifact and interpret what it means and what it reveals about their family, culture, the person or people involved, etc. Students will “source” a document or artifact to evaluate its credibility and point of view by asking questions about who wrote or created it, when, why, and for what purpose or audience. Students will explain how to work collaboratively with their classmates. Students will identify the key historical descriptors (tools and skills) they most connected with and why. Students will reflect on their experience of thinking like a historian. Standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.1: Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of primary and secondary sources. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.2: Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source; provide an accurate summary of the source distinct from prior knowledge or opinions. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.4: Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including vocabulary specific to domains related to history/social studies.

Dyslexia-Friendly Visual Phonics Decoding
Classroom Management, Resources for Teachers, Community Building, Life Skills, Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, Science, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Worksheets & Printables, Workbooks, Worksheets, Word Searches, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans, Quizzes and Tests, Quizzes, Tests, Assessments
If your students have difficulty with b/d reversals, visual crowding, or reading anxiety, phonics worksheets often do not work for kids who are neurodivergent because they create a cognitive overload situation. The Visual Phonics Decoding Program is a complete no-frills paradigm shift in reading interventions. Using the proprietary Visuo-Phonological Anchor Model (VPAM), this program creates a connection between auditory processing and the visual-spatial pathways, enabling students (first, second and third graders) to develop automaticity when decoding. The Visual Phonics Decoding packet also follows the principles of the Science of Reading and the cognitive principle of Orthographic Mapping and removes unnecessary visual distractions and replaces them with structured visual anchors. What’s Being Offered In Our 25 Page Complete PDF? Educator Theory and Implementation Manual: A deep dive into the Neurological Structure of Dyslexic Reading, Double-Deficit Hypothesis, and Orthographic Mapping with practical application chapters. Actual Case Studies with Practical Application: Profiles to show how to use these methods with Early Elementary School-Aged Children. Intervention Worksheet Series: Intervention worksheets have been developed utilizing Typographic Grounding, Chromatic Categorization and Spatial Bounding principles. Medial Short Vowels (CVC orthography), Consonant Digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh, ck), Initial Consonant Blends. Teacher Reference Materials/Visual Aids: Contains Visual Aids for Cognitive Orthographic Mapping Protocol and the anatomy of a Dyslexic Friendly Worksheet. Complete Answer Keys and Formative Assessment Protocols. Great For Special Education (SPED) Tier II and Tier III Reading Intervention, Home Schooling & Orton Gillingham Compatible Teaching Methods. Help struggling readers to stop guessing and to have the confidence to code words correctly using decoding! Reasons that Parents/Schools Appreciate It: Elimination of Visual Clutter: Heavy bottom, sans serif fonts, and greater spacing are used strategically to help identify and prevent visual representation of b, d, p, q from being represented as flipping or floating through space. Working Memory Limitations are Bypassed: Students are able to visually lock into a vowel team or digraph without being overwhelmed by using the use of Chromatic Anchor System and bounding boxes. No Fluff & No Distractions: All worksheets were specifically created to conserve as much of a dyslexic child's cognitive energy as possible. Therefore, no clip art, decorative art, or unnecessary instructions are contained to help conserve any cognitive energy from teaching a child to read. Creates Teacher and Parent Power: Also, all worksheets have a clear and complete "Educator Rationales" so parents and teachers can better understand the rationale and methodology for teaching their children. Gives Children the opportunity to Create True Orthographic Mapping: Children are prevented from memorizing and guessing from the visual image or picture, therefore, they are developing the skills to accurately map sounds to letters, which is the basis for long-term efficiency when it comes to reading. Target Audiences: Identify your target audience based on the curriculum's own Tiered Decoding Progression Model (pg. 22) and Introduction (pg. 1). Target Specifically: Grade Levels: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Audience: Students with a diagnosis of Dyslexia, students exhibiting signs of reading anxiety, children who are guessing at reading, children struggling with traditional written Phonics, as well as neurodivergent children from all backgrounds. Skills: Students needing support with CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words, students needing support with consonant digraphs (sh, ch, th) and students needing support with initial consonant blends.

This History of the Domestic Dog (level r) guided reading book with lesson plan includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: The Science and History of the Domestic Dog Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Life Science Primary Topic: Domestication, traits, and roles of dogs Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): R What This Book Teaches Best Explains dogs’ biological connection to gray wolves , including shared DNA and instincts tied to social behavior and communication. Describes the history of domestication and how human artificial selection led to many distinct dog breeds. Uses specific evidence to show why dogs have exceptional smell and hearing (brain structures, scent receptors, and hearing frequencies). Shows how selective breeding creates specialists for different jobs (speed, herding, cold-weather survival, and service work). Teaches how to read dog communication signals (tail wag speed/height, ear position, facial muscles, back posture). Learning Goals Explain how the text connects domestic dogs to gray wolves using specific evidence (classification and DNA). Describe how domestication began and how humans’ breeding choices created many breeds over time. Identify details that show why dogs can smell better than humans (olfactory bulb and scent receptors). Identify details that show why dogs can hear better than humans (frequencies and ear muscles). Compare at least two breeds in the text by explaining how traits match their work or environment (speed, herding, cold climate, service). Describe what the text says people can look for to understand a dog’s emotional state. Key Vocabulary From the Text subspecies — a smaller group within a kind of animal. domestication — animals becoming used to living with people. olfactory — having to do with smell. frequencies — how high or low a sound is. resilient — able to handle hard conditions and keep going. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What jobs or tasks have you seen dogs do for people? Comprehension questions: According to the text, how are domestic dogs connected to gray wolves? Comprehension questions: What evidence does the text give to show how powerful a dog’s sense of smell is? Comprehension questions: What signs does the text say people can look for to understand a dog’s emotional state? Printing Tips 1. Best Printing Method (Recommended) “Booklet” Printing (Best if Available) If your printer or PDF viewer supports Booklet Printing , use this. Settings to use: Print mode: Booklet Paper size: Letter or A4 (either works) Orientation: Landscape Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Scaling: Fit to printable area Booklet subset: First test: Front sides only Then: Back sides only This will automatically: Pair pages correctly Put the cover on the outside Align everything for folding After printing, fold in half and staple along the spine . 2. If “Booklet” Printing Is NOT Available You can still print this correctly with manual duplex printing . Step-by-step: Open the PDF. Choose Print . Set: Orientation: Landscape Pages per sheet: 1 Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Print all pages . Because each PDF page already contains two facing book pages, the result will still fold cleanly into a book. Thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership.

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.
