All of my paired texts (provided in printable and Google App formats) are high-interest for students AND teachers (because who wants to teach with boring passages anyway?!) and they all meet the demand for more complex texts that students can use to compare and build knowledge to integrate information and draw conclusions. This set pictured contains two pairs of informational passages and one nonfiction/fiction poem pair, two levels provided of each, about these animals. ⭐️ bats: megabats and microbats⭐️ owls: hunting and eating, and life cycle⭐️ spiders: informational passage about the good and bad, and the poem, "The Spider and The Fly"🛒 www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Paired-Texts-Print-Digital-Bats-Owls-Spiders-for-Grades-4-6-1...WAYS TO USE THIS RESOURCE:✅whole group or small group modeling✅read and annotate the texts together, then provide the questions for comprehension check, allowing students to use the annotated passages✅completely independent practice for students reading above 4th-5th grade levelWHY TEACHERS LOVE THESE PAIRED TEXTS:💜students enjoy the topics of the passages (no yawns through lessons)💜integrate social studies and science content into ELA to maximize much-needed time💜the multiple-choice questions cover a variety of standards per paired set, and they require students to go back into the text for the answer (not basic-level comprehension)💜digital formats are self-grading💜having both printable and digital formats allows teachers to transition seamlessly from in-class to virtual learning, or use in paperless 1:1 classrooms ...

The mentor sentences routine revolves so much around discussion on Day One and Day Two, and practicing on Day Three and Day Four, but there still needs to be some time to check in on what students are retaining through a short formative assessment.I suggest using the quizzes that are a part of the mentor sentence lessons I’ve made as formative assessments rather than taking them for a grade, but there might be times where it is appropriate to use them for a grade, too. (A formative assessment is designed to drive your instruction and reveal students who may need more support.)Read more about it: www.ideasbyjivey.com/mentor-sentences-routine-assessment ...

On Day Four of the mentor sentence routine, students write like the author. They should change the meaning and context of the mentor sentence, while keeping the style and structure that the author used.EVERY SINGLE WEEK, not just in the beginning when you introduce the routine, you will want to provide a model to hit those ever-important higher-order thinking skills. They will evaluate what it is that you did in your sentence that was the same as the author, and determine how you changed that sentence to make it your own.Read more about Time to Imitate: www.ideasbyjivey.com/mentor-sentences-routine-day-four-imitate ...
