SUMMARY:Mastering the NYS ELA Writing Demands: Strategies for Grades 3-5 *IN PERSON* facilitated by Deborah Linscott-Feinstein - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: administrators\, literacy coaches\, reading teachers\, grades 3-5 ENL\, general and special education teachers whose students are reading approximately on these levels. Equip your 3rd\, 4th\, and 5th-grade students with the tools they need to confidently tackle the writing portions of the NYS ELA assessment! This dynamic seminar is specifically tailored to the foundational writing tasks young learners face\, focusing on how to successfully navigate both 2-credit short responses and the 4-credit extended responses introduced in grades 4 and 5. The Writing Revolution paragraph scaffolding will be utilized\, and several models for compare and contrast essays will be presented. -Participants will explore highly effective\, brain-friendly strategies to simplify test writing. We will unpack exactly what the 2-credit constructed-response rubric demands: a valid inference-like making a claim from their head-supported by two concrete details directly from the text. You will learn how to teach students the “get in\, and get out!” method: writing short and sweet complete sentences without wasting time restating the question\, using transitions\, or over-explaining evidence. -We will also share proven formulas for tackling tricky “how” and “why” questions\, training students to purposefully use words like “by” and “because” to frame their thoughts\, and sort details and inferences within a game format. -Furthermore\, for upper elementary teachers\, we will delve into the expectations of 4-credit extended-response questions\, showing you how to guide students in communicating a clear\, coherent analysis of the texts. Graphic organizers for the compare and contrast essay will be explored. -Simultaneously\, third grade teachers will work on continued grade-appropriate practice activities with short response questions in a small group. Third grade teachers will also work on synthesizing how to elaborate on kernel sentences into short response format.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZuxF8K5Vnb0OqgNxiZIRLcP3C3kOtr36/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5393617
