In my classroom we have a literacy block of an 1hr 20mins and then an additional time of 30mins for writing. So in that first block of time we need to cover grammar, whole group reading, and guided reading. A lot to do in a short amount of time! So my CT and I make our grammar lessons short and sweet. At the start of a new topic I have our students watch a Brainpop video (because they love them) while completing a fill in the blank graphic organizer. An on going skill we teach our students is the importance of note taking, so this is the prefect way of introducing that. Click here to go to the Brainpop video.
