What are your thoughts on reciprocal teaching? It’s a great strategy, but it can get chaotic fast. To avoid the stress, I created a bundle of resources that includes everything you might need for a stress-free reciprocal teaching experience. I’ll leave the link in my bio @literacyinfocus if you want to check it out. ⠀⁣
⠀⠀⁣
What’s reciprocal teaching?! It’s a collaborative formative assessment tool that works well with all types of text. ⠀⠀⁣

How often do you use drawing as a learning strategy? ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
🖍Researchers from the University of Waterloo in Canada found drawing information to be a powerful way to boost memory, increasing recall by nearly DOUBLE! ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
🖍Drawing pictures of recently learned concepts forces students to reconstruct the material in a way that makes sense to them. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
What types of drawing do you use with your students? ⠀⁣

Recreate this anchor chart with your students to explain the difference between “who” and “whom.” Just click the save button, so you have it for future reference. 🤍⠀⠀⁣
⠀⠀⠀⁣
▶ The word “who” is used when referring to the subject of a sentence. If you can replace it with “he” or “she,” you know you have the right word.⁣
EXAMPLE:⠀⠀⠀⁣
-Who wants this popsicle? She wants the popsicle.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⁣
▶ The word “whom” should be used when referring to the object of a verb or a preposition. If you can replace it with “him” or “her,” you know you have the right word. You may have to alter word order when using this trick. ⠀⁣
EXAMPLE:⠀⠀⠀⁣
-Linda is the girl to whom I gave the popsicle. I gave the popsicle to her. ⁣
-To whom should I give this popsicle? Should I give this popsicle to her?⁣
⠀⠀⁣
