My First Manic Monday!

Thanks once again for stopping by!  Today is the first time (of hopefully many times) that I will be taking part in Classroom Freebies Manic Monday. This is a great resource created by Charity Preston and I have followed it for a while.  I've found many useful ideas, and I am beyond excited to actually be posting something on her site today in hopes of paying it forward!

As an English Teacher, I'm working hard on incorporating the Common Core in all that I create for use with my students.  Here you can find a graphic organizer that I have made to help students make inferences that are supported by text details.  I call these "Stop, Think and Share Sheets," as I often use these to facilitate classroom discussion and, of course, as a means of formative assessment while I'm monitoring who's "getting it" while my students are working on stopping and filling them out...thinking on paper BEFORE we share.

I hope you find this freebie useful.  Be sure to check around the other link-ups to Classroom Freebies today to find some more great ideas!
