I am preparing the collaborative resume for my 6th graders. It is a
fun activity that results in a HUGE double poster sized "resume" that
hangs in the class and is used to introduce the new sixth graders in
my multi-age class to their new classmates. Often as they present
their resume other kids will chime in with..."Oh I went to that
preschool" "Did you ever play in the tree house?" I love dance or
soccer,or baseball, or the Jonas Brothers too! Great introduction!
Opening:
Your 6th grade group will be completing a Group Resume to present to
your class. You all represent an incredible array of talent and
experiences. One way to identify and brag about your group's resources
is to compose a group resume. The resume will be done on poster paper
using your best collaborative ability. First you will quietly think
about your talents and compile a list. You will then combine your
attributes for your own 6th grade resume to be presented to your new
classmates! The resumes should include any information that promotes
the subgroup as a whole. The groups may choose to include any of the
following information:
Here are some ideas to get you thinking! You will need the following
headings in your resume
OBJECTIVE:
EDUCATION:
SKILLS:
WORK AND/OR EXPERIENCE
AWARDS/ACCOMPLISHMENTS
HOBBIES
SERVICE/CLUBS/ MEMBERSHIPS

Hello all -- I know there are a lot of writing sites to use with the
SmartBoard, but do any of you have suggestions about sites for teaching
middle school reading?? Thanks,

Pat -- we have internal assessments and state test results as
documentation.? However, we are being asked to keep records of kids'
progress to see if they need to go into short-term reinforcement of language
arts.? Just wondering what kind of observation forms or running records are
kept by others.? Thanks for your help!

I am an RTI teacher for grades 6 and 8. What kind of information are you
looking for? We have state scores on our students and we also give a
computerized test to the whole school which is called a MAP test. I will
also
do an oral assessment on my students, a multiple choice one, and also ask
them to
complete a reading straegy survey.

What is your oral assessment, Pat?

I would recommend giving assessments a few times a year. I am doing an
oral
one in Sept, Jan and end of the year. My students also keep all their work
in
a spiral in my room and that is a running record of their work. I keep a
checklist this year which will list the skill/strategy that we are working
on
and I will give a check , or plus or minus, on how the student is doing adn
can
also comment on that. We also report to parents every 5 weeks and that is a
checklist with an anecdotal.

I wouldn't use Running Records for middle school students. They are
designed
for primary grades. The QRI is a really good informal reading assessment. It
takes a little while to give, but it gives you awesome data.
There is a passage, I usually have them read it silently first, then out
loud so I can do miscue analysis. I don't do the outloud every time, but
definitely to get a baseline. Then, there are comprehension questions at the
end and a spot for a retelling. I like the QRI specifically because it asks
different types of questions- inferential, literal, etc. so you can see
exactly what the student needs.
