Here is a visualizing anchor chart I made and will be using with my first graders this week!
I have been working on my novel for many years. I’ve had confidence issues, fear issues, procrastination issues…but now I’ve decided enough is enough and it’s time to get on with it. This is a vlog of my progress and for this month I show how I am outlining and re-plotting my manuscript.

The Hope Chest is included in the Engage NY fourth grade ELA modules. This is a novel study that can accompany that unit or be used in place, while still using the novel. I found that my fourth grade students needed additional background knowledge, written response questions, and scaffolding in order to fully comprehend this text. This text is engaging and informative, and this novel study provides the structure for reading the novel while responding to the text. This is 150 pages of engaging and supportive student pages. It is based on the grade 4 module 4 text study, but more in depth, and connected to ELA test prep - an abundance of short response questions are provided. Some questions are similar to the module, others go into more detail. This novel study is easily differentiated, since there are many activities and questions to choose from for each chapter. There are definitely more questions and activities than you would need - pick and choose what is appropriate for your students' needs and the time frame you have to teach this novel. What's included? -three pre-reading activities -historical background information page for each chapter -variety of questions for the text, separated by chapter. There are 19 chapters, and each has several questions. Some are multiple choice, others are short response or extended response. This is ideal for continued test prep, but also for guiding students through the novel. This resource could support students in reading the novel independently, or be used with an entire class. -5 after reading extended response questions -figurative language and page numbers for each chapter for students to define -journaling pages including visualizing, predicting, and vocabulary -character report cards to use for analysis -test prep posters (genre, main idea, context clues, text structure, text features, etc.) How Do You Use This Resource? Every student does not need to receive and do all 150 pages of this novel study. It is differentiated! So you can choose the pages and questions you would like each individual student to complete, if they are working on this independently. Another option, which is how I used this resource in my own classroom, is to do The Hope Chest as a read aloud. Work through the historical background WITH the students before reading the chapter WITH the students. Then, choose just a few questions for each chapter to either do together or to have students complete on their own. I planned the questions I wanted to use for each chapter ahead of time and printed a novel study workbook for each student so they simply pulled it out and worked on it after we finished the read aloud. An Honest Review of this Text: I highly recommend this book to anyone who is ready for a thought-provoking read aloud in their classroom. This book will ignite conversations and debates among students. Students will beg you to continue to read, just one more chapter. Isn't that what a valued read aloud should be?

We often have some measure of uncertainty in our data—a forecast, prediction or range of possible values. A common challenge is how to visualize that uncertainty and help our audience understand the implications. In today’s post, I’ll use a real-world example to illustrate one approach and share tac
