okay we're good to go hello everybody I'm thank you for joining us as friends all is my name is Eric. Sorry I missed in principal at Macy and we have with us hi good evening I'm eating a yogurt Sia I am the teacher on special assignment here at Macy intermediate and we are here too with the part of our team from the English language arts to give a presentation on how parents can support writing for ELA family night hi my name is Luther King I am a 7th grade ELA and history teacher and something about he is that I love reading books mr. Damian I am Mr Damien I currently am at Macy intermediate and I am working with the 6th through 7th and 8th grade mi madre program working in English language arts and science and then I also like taco stuff thank you for joining us as I think 7th grade language mystery Dum a big football fan big Steeler fan again okay we're going to go ahead and get started and if at any point you have any questions with consalus feel free to let us know either at work I'm eating yourself and making sure that you let us know what your question is so being parents when they access this recording once exposed to their school website they have also added to the Spanish say meet you senior Damien is near Flores Wilson Parts in West Sacramento okay so we're going to start with a California state standards so at the beginning of the year of the LA team gets together fix 7th and 8th grade and we decide what standards were going to be focusing on for the school year so this year I decided to focus on standard one right arguments for claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence if they help me see provolone yoel a key for the electorate guess the number of this experiment baby dancing in the car payment today in English Electra is a standard standard a introduce claims and organized the reasons and evidence clearly as we move on to the seventh grade it's the same standard but it adds some regard to it so now the standard becomes a queen egg knowledge and address alter or opposing clean and organize the reasons and evidence logically MPS Island el Puesto on Barcelona sequel and then from 7th to 8th grade. Once again it changes introduced claims acknowledge acknowledge and distinguish the claims from alternate or opposing claim and organized reasons and evidence logically the organisms do as you can see the standards build on each other and each year as children progressed the standard gain more and more rigor Amanda and the other is Central Standard that we selected was standard 9 draw evidence from literary or informational to support analysis reflection research El otro in standard April Macie intermediate Academy text do you say i l e s a s l alright so before we begin the writing process we are too dense to think about the purpose for writing in the writing piece are they going to inform are they going to entertain or are they going to prevent an argument Advanced once we've decided what type of writing piece we are going to do then we need to decide who is our audience going to be are we going to write for our peers are we riding for our teacher are we writing a letter to 4 the principal to persuade them to make a chain at Macy from there we come up with ideas and what is it that we're actually going to write about and to do that we used several different strategies and tools Noah's Art and close reading and phone says I'm busy. SNL Premiere episode story is the Moon. Guinness in Biloxi. hello Miss Hernandez can you hear us then your dad messes with what is kombucha yes I can hear you I'm okay thank you welcome I'm going to post a sign in on the chat please a few minutes to sign in and also just to let you know we are recording this presentation so that parents were not able to connect right at this moment will be able to have access to this presentation when we post it on our school website are you okay with that yes that's okay okay perfect thank you so much it's okay I just wanted to point out that on State Testing or the Xbox cutest you have a book top components where they do have to write either unemployment of Peace a narrative which is to entertain or an argumentative essay so this does it is tested at the end of the school year and we do practice each form of throughout the school year physical exam anesthetize proximamente play English eat extra a bottle opener what is the full moon in La seleccion Escape okay so part of the prewriting process sometimes as teachers we have students use thinking the thinking that stars that have eight visual patterns that correlate to specific cognitive processes are used across all grades and contenaire areas to build the critical thinking problem solving comprehension and communication skills necessary for academic success in every domain so for example when were writing I'm sorry that build a look at the most I totally prevented mapas in of koalas is it elbow pain complejo elementary school and I would frequently use the tree how to create a paragraph at the very top of the students were right there topic sentence and then be three categories underneath would be each of their supporting sentences so that's something I use frequently at the elementary level but I would still used it again there perhaps their claim would be at the top of the Trina and then each of the fraction would be a piece of evidence followed by their reasoning Stephan El Segundo am I sending it to pick up entonces alumna illegal in Canada write another strategy that we prior to writing is close reading what is cloze reading an instructional team in which students are guided in their understanding of complex check basically close reading is a component of dynamic reading instruction where students do the following so for example currently our students are writing a piece on should water bottle be banned so what we do we present them with several article we read the article and as we read we highlight evidence that support our claim and as we highlight we write notes in the margin explaining why we highlighted that specific piece of evidence entonces por transportation BWI send a text to Phyllis incomprendido donde estan a used vehicle, what does cual es la razon por cual in Spanish can do inside the sports get where they in do the reading portion of the prewriting process is very important and that's where they're at evidence that's basically what they're going to be writing about it was a key that they reach her fully understand and collect their evidence in the process before we begin writing importante que Los alumnos Indian Bangles textiles Castalian. is this is just a brief student sample the text is in the center I'm still as we read we Circle unfamiliar vocabulary or key vocabulary we underline and highlight evidence we anticipate the text read text for Nations as to why we highlighted the top and a school we've agreed to the following color code system we use yellow for cabbie Larry red fork Lane Greenport and blue for reasoning is this one I can blow they won't text okay stomach with a sandal and I took Fiona to Almont a l text a process Costanza where do they give up and go home. and I think we have a question on the chat than the most famous chat as more and more schools are doing Pathways and dual-enrollment how is Macy getting students ready to be able to begin to take college classes will students be writing more and reading more challenging a leprechaun trap does anybody want to address that at this how do you get it all the all the texts that we do read is at grade level so you know that the vocabulary the material itself it is challenging reading then that's one of the reasons we do close reading is because we read the text more than one because sometimes it is very complicated vocabularies new to them so the test the documents the books that were reading are challenging for students Texas custom only and o.s. stand and Eldorado xbox.com bastante complejo we said kind of meant a volcano and if I can add also miss murial there's some there's a resource that I was going to mention this is a writing you know information meeting but there is a r e first on fasting also it's called The Renaissance and that is an app that students can go on and it has a bunch of free books that they can read ranging in all levels as well so if there's a student that needs you know higher level of reading that they would like you know be available to them Renaissance is a free app that they could log in to him and I'll talk a little bit more about that later but Renaissance is a great place to go to check out higher level books if the student would lie it's too as well thank you classlink I want to add that there's a program that allows our gate students are gifted students to take classes at East Los Angeles College where they are in the ninth grade so they're earning college credit we are still in high school hey, Lee College thank you mr. Flores I so I'll be going over claim evidence reasoning that we use here at Macy to help our students need the standards in writing Riverside and Rec Lambo lace material why do that ocr's an essential method for enhancing their child's writing and language arts in the area of argumentative writing go see our kids look like our students at Mason Intermediate apply the Australian Massacre across all grade levels and Canton area if it's so big here, miss you now. Say it was Eliza and Tolosa alright the next slide what is CRC S4 playing PS4 hours for reasoning what's the what's it called again it's an assertion on an ARG ARG statement for example students should be required to wear school uniform that is an opinion that something that you can argue versus George Washington is the first president of the United States that's a fact are you know that Macy intermediate the living if I look at the weather for New York George Washington policy the evidence would be the supporting facts codes or examples from the text that back up between you is bipolar into a club the reasoning would be the explanation linking the evidence to the claim showcasing all the evidence support the claim El Community Mental Health Como El Liberia yes I'll go get Rihanna, next. b o c r us to constructing argument this is a skill that students will need in high school and Beyond he looking cuanto es 10 en la Universidad originally this was a strategy was and science it was very successful science and we found that it also helps in language arts critical for developing thinking and communication skills stop it stop it yet as well. b o y c are in language arts CR improved an adult drinking and trenches to have to dissect extra sausage arguments and form opinions 4 km Tomatoes Texas Equal net loss and Dr enhance communication skills how do I take a date ideas clearly and persuasively thermostat commentary icr promotes textual evidence usage and steals a habit of supporting arguments with concrete evidence and that is one of our key standards requiring students to cite textual evidence if I do that that meant como como encontrar. alright so here's an example of a CR exercise that students completed a year ago or so students were asked to read an article titled eat bugs they look Planet I so we started off by going over keyboard where you at before reading this article student for  Should humans eat bugs immediately students answered no way no how to spot a text okay I'll let you know in Los Lunas is different than yours. did they say people that did they they high school students write the article and once they have read the article I have total 11 a paragraph Pandora online I don't know if they are processed all right you can go over to the next life you'll see question should humans eat bugs even bust a applicant has vocabulary that's what I do when I was mess and CSK give me the question should humans eat bugs now they had to come up with the plane yet to make an argument an arguable statement and most answered yes humans should eat but that was their cleaning at 1. play in humans should eat bugs but now they had to soap example of a couple of evidence that the excited so the first one beat up about 50% of the Planet X from animals so just call us and six does meal worms crickets and Locust release 80 to 100 times less Messing. In both of these they don't know text effect 4 million in cm and the second piece of evidence excited us there being a prick is has more iron mealworms have almost twice as much protein as meat chicken breasts are even high in fiber tienen dos veces que lo que tiene la proteina de una pechuga de pollo normal Montica memos, Polo price of this evidence was in quotation marks give this evidence is rather than it does a good job of supporting that initial claim that humans should eat bugs when a n c a k e man of the people in Texas as the punto yellow Saloon pricing for the reasoning now they have to explain how that evidence supports that initial claim that we should eat bugs como esta I was looking at the evidence that insects released last message on Carlos Irizarry eating insects like mealworms or crickets is better for the environment that eating be because insects produce very little Mustang a harmful gas that pollutes the air and causes climate change yes yes yes people of beef Discount Tire, we can lessen the amount of mess in the in the air by simply eating less teeth and eating more bugs and insects be safe. implementation one thing that stands out about this response is that the student use prior knowledge such as explaining that messing is a harmful gas that pollutes the air and causes climate change so that his reasoning a whole lot stronger the second piece of evidence be the reason and reads this evidence shows it's possible to replace meet with edible bugs and still remain healthy surprisingly bucks provide more iron protein and fiber than chicken state of meat we are helping the environment and getting good nutrients not you must be bruh again this reason and explain how seven is number two Merced initial claim that we should eat bugs all right so this next slide we have the big picture we have our claim we have two pieces of evidence and we have these in each for each piece of heaven so now students can take all of his sight all of these ideas find me to form a a paragraph or he can go to the next line can you go back to the next one Memo's como se puede hacer atole it's a week here we have a proficiency are paragraph Ethan Amazon California even though Colores Que La Senora you're not giving this a proficient CR paragraph Albany weather okay so can read that you see the students makes an arguable a statement he also restated that claim at the end of the paragraph student Austin rally bands and supportive evidence you'll see it in green you'll see it in quotation marks do the student included the source of the evidence he gives a title of the Articles eat bugs Save the Planet he includes the paragraphs usually have paragraph a paragraph 9 where the student and finally the student include the reasoning that's in blue and again the reason explained why do you have it and supports the claim all right so this concludes my examination of t e r i next I'm going to be during a couple pieces of resources that families can use when helping their children with writing and maybe the process of writing in the first round is called paper in this thing it's a nap and it's free it's within the students classlink and if parents don't know how to get their students don't know how to get there just simply log into the Chromebook and then on their Chromebook when they open up a Google tab there's a classlink it's lasting tab then we'll have a bunch of other apps that they could click on and the paper app look like this and it has a little name underneath of that says paper is the Yama paper book classlink cuatro Horas Al DIA podcasting for all grade levels from K through 12 limited sessions so it's not like one of those apps where you know they let you go on and once or twice at 3 and then you have to pay for the rest of it's completely free and then it also any academic subjects are stood there their children are in pain will help them to also when can my child get a support there's there's the support is offered 24/7 7 days a week and don't they go kick it Jonas ilimitada in Quechee Vermont area eat weather in Los Lunas of the nearest El Pollo Loco in English Spanish is offered in French and it's also in Mandarin online the some of the tools of the tutors will use is whiteboard so students can draw on their Chromebook so that they can get visual support as well as uploading pictures of their homework so that the tutor on the other end can see what the students need support in eat locate my f****** a k a s s a Miss Gonzalez can't students have Renaissance available during the summer as well as Khan Academy Khan Academy do you know if that's something that's available for them during the summer so I don't know how long he's going to be activated you know how long the contract is for but if it is available you know even if it's available during summer it'll stay on their their Chromebook in class link to Apple be there and if they click on it and if they login it'll automatically lock them and it'll still say they have an active account so if in summer they need to get on Renaissance they can click on the app and then see if it logs them in as well, Texas the pinion angle I'm not sure either I have a little video tell everybody and you just kind of gives you a little insight of maybe a family and a student that was kind of struggling and paper with writing and how paper kind of supported him with that animals can be the most insane yet video de como esta La Familia paper personally I enjoy taking the heart of glasses that I can because I like to get ahead of the game I like to just be ahead of me but like sometimes I don't know I've been working and I've been trying to learn it as hard as I can trying to do everything I can to understand the topic but I would need help and I could ask my teacher because I'll be at home if you think a lot from me and my wife cuz we're working we come home he got homework in my head I don't know I don't know if he's taking a lot of hard subject when the school first told me about paper I was kind of and I actually didn't believe my ears to be honest I didn't think that would be happy 24/7 tutoring available like whenever we wanted I would go to bed I wake up midnight we doing talking to he's on the computer that you're nothing right now come on I don't believe it right now they should help you just no way and it's it's really helpful because normally I wouldn't have to help at that time because it's play at night but these papers are available at any time and I can just hop in a chat and ask him a question paper has allowed me to be more confident as I am able to dive headfirst into my problems and see how I can knowing that I have paper to fall back onto and I'm also less scared because I know that I don't have to wait until the next day for answers I don't have to worry about you from work what are you do call paper okay well and don't they sell aluminum and then just kind of thing I'd like to touch on is what the students a profile looks like and so this is what your child's are profile look like on paper and so I highlighted in a red box on the bottom where they would be able to get writing support so there they would put click on that option and then they would be able to upload their documents and they could be in a Bulldog could be Google spreadsheets right if they're working in math could be a PDF document and so they have the option of uploading any document there that they needs to pour on and then also last thing that I wanted to mention was but it is 2727 24 hours 7 days a week support but it's a chat tutor so it's not virtual tutor and that's just kind of for the security of both parties Annabelle is going to n.c. computadora who's got an apartment review with Anne are yours to realize our NSA Equinox mantoan PDF and Edna tutorial tutorial yellow peril tutorial and then I know this is a writing seminar but in the event that their child ever needed any other support just above it and all those colored boxes that is their whole schedule so if they have they have science they have physical education they have you know different kinds of mass and all of their subjects would be right of Topo biology and all those things and they can click on any of those classes that they're in together supporting Donald Trump Illuminati mementos we've always had a specific comment then I will come back to this video at the end if we have some time to dance really hone in on his writing skills and what we like to know what I like to do in my class right as we think something we say something we write it out and then we can read it the second thing you must be most American Summer in like you Christian Don Lewis and then also one thing I'd like to mention a resource is dictation so I know sometimes students have problems yes with forming the sentence but also sometimes they don't have the votes Larry or the capacity to write their own sentence and so what I like to do also is on everyone's Chromebook it's free also is just turning on that dictation which is speech to text and that helps him a lot too because it lets them either a speech voice to text right voice recognition any of those software's converts are spoken words into digital text onto the screen. excision Excision Rio Hotel struggle with keyboard that that's an issue is it has a huge help specifically maybe the younger kid the younger student that you know it's definitely something that will help them as well that way the keyboarding is not a barrier and then also you know aren't our kids are in middle school and they're kind of a little more lazy and they don't want to put in the effort of writing it out until their sentences are shorter or they just kind of use one or two Word answers and so just kind of the universe didn't set that struggle with writing or sometimes it's easier to say what they're thinking right and then they see it written out and then they're like okay well they just get that speech to text they have their ideas now on the screen and then they just copy their sentences out let me look at you. I'm in this Maria like you said some of the students that have like keyboard issues and things like that also their students that struggle with dyslexia and other attention issues right and then this also helps them correctly spell their words and or you know not forget what they wanted to say at the moment when they were thinking it text Lexi also I just practice worksheets practice worksheets that can be found online let me know there's a lot of there's there's a lot of free websites as well as Google's a great research place to go to lessons based on the skill level of any students need to know if they're at their own pace right some some activities can be interactive and then also have just helped students stay engaged I have a another website that want to sell them after this then I'm going to move on you know going back to what miss this is another visual so I just wanted to share this right so these these visuals make right Define far student AP photo this while I do that again Los aldeanos SE pueden ver. the last resource I want to share is i-Ready also found within class link rights another free app in like missing was saying earlier you know reading is a very important part comes to writing and so I ready is another app the students have right and it's also it's personalized to them based on their reading skill level and their needs in the morning is at their Pace Van again interactive right in fun and engaging activity that they work on a school but also they can work on at home took some personal entonces in MA elecciones en Camino Real if yes I'm a simple but I said I just have some pictures of what the students Pages look like right so this is just a to-do list what's next and the things that they could do on their profile who knows I've been in ensue some of the things they work on his vocabulary pronunciation as well story Antoinette and then at the end it shows them also their progress and how many minutes saved they've been making also up progress towards their goals I ready and then for families at home as well they can check when their work has been completed and then also the progress on whether you know they faster with 100% or maybe they need to revisit an activity because they did not pass it on to swim in the galaxy then the last page I just here is kind of where I put everything together right some web web page is the checkout reading rocket twinkle teachers the teachers these are some resources that my colleagues also used right this is where we get those interactive worksheet that students can you know write out what the writing looks like it's free not all of them are free sometimes like you can get like a single download for free a day and those things as well as some of these skills are these websites also research-based strategies to help Susan's weather radio that is not a muscle near my location right and that is it the last thing I just wanted to say was about Renaissance I know I miss and I miss Gonzalez and asked Renaissance and you know where they can find it again they can find that in classlink but also looking telekinetic are Eskimos alumnos access and Renaissance that is the class Link in Renaissance they do have a library that they could choose from and then they could search I know Mom was asking about higher level of reading they can search whatever grade level they would like and then when they let's just put animals I had that argument example right that's a 9th grade and above all so that Alexa lexical reading lights out it's all based on the reading skill and then there's a bunch of bunch of materials available for students as well millennial do we have any questions and then we're going to let me check the chat I don't see any questions on the chat and I only went up in one sentence at the questions that were posed we've answered and leave address + 2 and then I also have an evaluation the main thing all night and I lost you on your way if you could please
