I use worldly wise for vocabulary and I put the sets on quizlet. My kids love playing quizlet live and they’re all in competition with each other on the match game.

Same: Quizlet!!

I have the kids create a Google Slide for each word. It can only contain 1 picture that represents the definition of the word. They quiz their partners to see if they can figure out which word is being represented. I also have them write sentences using the word. The sentence must also contain a context clue. I then create a Kahoot using their sentences and omit the vocabulary word from the sentence. If I use their sentence, it’s extra credit to them.

I used to have a teacher who divided our class into teams, gave each team 2 vocabulary words to act out (there was a time limit to how long we had to come up with our skit and for how long the skit could be), and the other teams had to guess the meaning. The first team to guess correctly got points. We started each week this way. At the end of the quarter there was some kind of prize for the team with the most points and the points reset/the teams were regrouped for the next quarter.

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me with an information on how EY INDIA provides variable to employees. I know it's 0-20%, so is it monthly ? or what kind of measures they consider in order to provide variable pay.
Also, suppose the package is 6 Lakhs, so can we say that the package is 600000 + 20% of 6 Lakhs = 720000. (As EY has 20% variable Pay)

Thanks in Advance !

The skills & academic stamina of students in adv. classes are the lowest my colleagues and I have ever seen across ALL subjects. Students also seem not to care about the quality of their work, goal setting, & improvement like they did pre-C-19. Being back in person for a year has not erased the learning losses; in fact, this group is worse off than last year’s classes. Do you see this trend in your advanced programs? I wonder if it’s a district curriculum & philosophy issue or more widespread.

I need some strategies! When I introduce a text I use choral reading and whisper reading to guarantee students actually read the text. After an initial read, we go back and annotate to understand the text better. However, I feel like I do all the work. The class doesn’t seem to be thinking about the text. There is a lot of yawning. It’s like they are just waiting to write down what I tell them to. How do I get kids to think about what they are reading? How do I get them to do the work?
