Using Digital Graphic Organizers to Plan a Narrative
Planning a narrative can be tricky for many students. I know mine always like to jump right in with the writing and I love their enthusiasm but I find that if they don't have a plan their writing ends up lacking details. Before I had Chromebooks and ipads I would always provide a variety of graphic organizers for students to plan out their writing with. Narrative writing can be particularly tricky.

Using Memes in the Classroom
Memes aren't just for sharing on Facebook! Students love memes too! I knew that I wanted to incorporate memes into my classroom this year but I just had to figure out the best time to do it. I knew memes would be a hit with my students so I decided to use them right at the beginning of the year. I had students make memes to go with one of our classroom rules.
