Ms. McCorquodale
Ms. Mac - Gloria C. Mccorquodale, for the school year 24.25. I will be your English, Language Arts and Reading (Writing) instructor.
As a FBISD instructor, I will focus on the Workshop Model (Ronald Thornton ELA follows the Workshop Model for Reading and Writing. This means I will teach you a short mini-lesson on the topic for the day, give you time to work collaboratively and/or independently, and then we’ll come back together to see how much we’ve grown and talk about where we are going from there. This will mean you will likely not have a lot of outside homework, as long as you use your class time wisely to focus and accomplish your work in class. This year we are focusing on a Big Question: Why? I’m really excited about this as I think it’s important that, as learners, we ask why and develop thinking and problem solving skills.
Which includes: (Reading and Writing Workshops) We will do a lot of independent reading, so be sure to choose books you love! We will use those books to practice the reading skills we learn in class, and students will conference with me about how you are using those skills. We will also read passages together as a class, and I will read several books aloud to the class. I’ll give you advance notice about titles, in case you want to get your own copy to follow along. The first read aloud Freak the Mighty. Independent reading will be submitted using We Video.
