THE
ANSWER IS IN THE ROOM
Here are some highlights of the best practices shared
after the last round of intervisitations; all are focused on the use of
TWR, other scaffolds, as well as the use of socio-emotional practices in class.
In the Science department, Mr. Lee and
Mr. Hurley created a TWR activity involving bedbugs. Students were
prompted to annotate an article about bedbugs and complete a summary based
on the reading.
In the Math
Department, Ms. Medina, Ms. Chung, Ms. Schlein, Ms. La Tanza, and Ms. Dye
created a TWR activity involving constructions of dilations of circles.
The expanded sentence activity is based on error analysis of two models.
In the English
Department, Ms. Bailey created a guide
for writing analysis and a model for her ninth grade students reading "Of
Mice and Men".
*If any staff
member would like to share a lesson, activity, or best practice,
send it to Ms. Paz at SPaz@schools.nyc.gov or Mr. Kearns at kkearns@schools.nyc.gov

The Industry Show is on Thursday, May 18, 2017 with a reception at 6:00 pm and the

industry and has graciously agreed to attach his name to the event to help fundraise

ways including their recent air conditioning contribution.

Ms. Broadbelt, for her efforts in leading this production.

VTODs
FOR THE WEEK
Our VTODs will now be lexical
arrays of terms that are connected in meaning but often reflect differences in
tone, mood, or levels of intensity. For example: peek, glance, scowl, stare, and glare.
Lexical
Arrays - DISAGREE: from Bicker to Protest
Monday, May 8
Discord: (n) strife or conflict resulting
from a lack of agreement between people or over ideas or policies. The Bank
Board members presented a united front when interviewed for the article, but,
off the record, a deep discord among the members was acknowledged.
Tuesday, May 9
Protest:
1. (n) the
expression of strong disagreement or opposition; the director resigned in
protest at the decision. 2. (v) to strongly disagree; to publicly express
opposition. He protested alongside Martin Lither King that day and on other
occasions.
SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL
LEARNING RELATED VTODs
Wednesday, May 10
Glitch:
(n) a snag; a
minor problem that causes a temporary setback.
Every glitch takes on major proportions because the employee can’t put
things in perspective. A technical glitch caused a temporary shutdown.
Thursday, May 11
Thwart:
(v) to oppose
successfully; defeat the hopes or aspirations of. His competitor did all she
could to thwart his business plan, but she didn’t factor in his excellent
social skills and his determination.
Friday, May 12
Resilient:
(adj.) springing
back; rebounding; recovering readily after a difficult time. “For the past
decade most state primary schools have
offered programs that help students to be more resilient when faced with life's
setbacks.” An example of “resilient
design” would be relocating a building’s boiler from a frequently flooded
basement to an enclosure on the roof.
