How to Teach Writing to ALL your students! Teaching boys, Dyslexic students and struggling writers to love writing and yes pass the dreaded PARCC, Smarter Balanced or CCSS ELA writing TEST!
Writing with Structure and Style is a common sense approach to teaching writing. The writing program is the best curriculum I have piloted hands down, it is very easy for teachers to learn the linear, explicit direct instruction methods and models. Closing the writing gap simplified! I am amazed at how this common sense writing program helps lift struggling writers and motivates the can't or won't writers to thrive and love writing. The program is all about training the teacher and replacing piles of books and scripted lessons with high quality writing practices. It's easy, yes easy and fast to implement lessons that are fun for the students. One important aspect for many teachers is it's flexibility and prescriptive or corrective ability to close the achievement gap for all students. This writing curriculum will help your students write high quality essays that meet any common core assessment. The biggest selling point is it helps reluctant boys, readers and writers develop into confident readers and writers by teaching them to read and analyze text like writers.
The first two units on note taking and summarizing from notes are the best close reading strategies I have used with my students. Writing with Structures and Style is based on best practice that includes: K-12 teacher training, mentor text, college ready outlines, check list, rubrics and anchor text. Students learn quickly using a spiraling model that is a pedagogically sound. Students learn how to develop rich-beautiful language that ignites their passion for writing and makes my 4th grade class sound like high school students. My gifted writers and advanced readers, are teaching other students using the Structure and Style methods creating and amazing synergy that is contagious. The advanced writers are know above and beyond their peers that are not using the methods. Teaching students to write is no longer a dread for my students and I have a new passion for writing instruction.
The Student Writing Intensive curriculum is IEW's "Writing Boot Camp" that will help students in a very fast linear way to succeed on any writing assignment or assessment.

Have you ever thought of what makes a potato chip crispy? My experiment is testing soaked potato v.s non soaked potato and which one will be more crispy. Washing potato slices will remove most starch consequently making it crunchy. Because the starch keeps the potato from becoming crispy and crunchy. Food science is extremely tasty! Why do you think people crave potato chips.
Let me educate you about food science because nutrition is extremely important. Potatoes have lots of lovely nutrition like protein, minerals, vitamin C, riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium. Who knew 1 potato could have all that nutrition! But frying a potato ( Includes any vegetable ) will wipe out all the great nutrition. Potatoes are a important part of a healthy diet. Hopefully you eat potatoes everyday! Do you only use potatoes to make potato chips?
You'll be amazed to learn how to make a healthy potato chips in a oven! My method of making thin, crispy chips is to bake them with olive oil which makes them tantalizing! The first step is to cut a big, tasty looking potato into long strips. Then pulp the potato slices into a large bowl of cold water ( Do the exact same thing just with warm water. ) Take the slippery potatoes and dry them extremely well with dishcloth. Now for the fun part, baking! Put them on a baking sheet and then preheat the oven to 425'F. Sprinkle a little bit of of sea salt and drizzle a bit of olive or canola oil ( Your choice! ) After that insert the soggy slices into the oven and wait for 15 - 20 minutes. Then take them out, and observe. Does the cold or warm water effect it?

Its fascinating to think and learn about electricity and magnetism. My experiment is to successfully design a serise circuit and a parallel circuit to test conductors and insulators. because electricity traves through conductors it is not a open circuit or a short circuit phones or other devises do not work. electricity ultimately powers the world. why do you think the sun having a hicop destroys every circuit?
My science experament is safely learning about conductors , insulators and different tipes of circuits. its facinating to learn and think about conductors and insulators. first let me talk about what is an insulator. an insulator is electricity that cant pass and shock you. now let me talk about what a conductor is. a conductor is when electricity can pass through a wire witch is the foundation of every circuit. now let me talk about a parallel circuit , a series circuit , an open circuit , a short circuit , and a closed circuit.a parallel circuit is a parallel wiring that allows the electric current to move through the wire. a sereis circuit is a circuit that when resistors are conected in a sieres. an open circuit is when a circuit is accidentally established beatween two points in an electric circuit. a closed circuit is a circuit providing a endless path for the flow of a current.its facinating to explore how to make electric circuits conductors and insulators. i am cooking and designing a batch of electric squishy circuits. because playing with playdough is fun playing with electricole playdough is more jollit. do you think you can make a electric circuits? Now let me tell you how , first get all your ingreadeants witch have to be cooked. one batch has acied and salt witch is the conductor the other dosent witch is the insulator. you might need to put conductive playdough with the insulating playdough to make the seriese circuit.

Have you ever discovered that
meteorologist can prediced the weather in 10 days in advanced.My
experiment is measuing the humidity to see how meteorologist prediced
the weather.Becuase it is impotant to prediced the weather incase
people plan future events.Forecasting the weather is extremly
important.Do you know what weather event kills more people?
You will understand more that
every thing to do with weather,the height of the troposphere is
always changing. Speaking the average height of troposphere around
the world is 6 miles. Humidity is important for clouds because they
are made of water that can be used to make
clouds we could have.
First I will attach the
thermometers firmly to a small board or sturdy of Styrofoam. The
bulbs of the thermometers should stick out past the end of the board
.Then I will wrap the gauze around the bulb of one of the
thermometers,and tape it in place. After that I will wet the gauze
with water. then I will have my first wet bulb thermometer. To
measure the relative humidity,air needs to be moving past the wet
bulb that cauces evaporations. Then I will use a small fan to blow on
two thermometers or see the Variations section for an alternative
method. Take readings from the two thermometers at regular intervals.
The dry bulb thermometers readings should remain constant. The wet
bulb thermometers reading should stop chanding within 2or3 minutes
.When the wet bulb reading is stable,write down both the dry bulb and
the wet bulb readings.T o figure out the relative humidity I need to
subtract the dry bulb reading from the wet bulb reading ,then use the
table (Miami Museum of Science,2000),or use the online calculator
referenced in Bibliography (Brice and Hall, date unknow).a. Note:for
the online calculator ,you will also need to know the current
barometric pressure at your location. If you don’t have your own
barometer,you can make one ,or look up the information online .In the
U.S., you can use the National Weather Service website

LIE
DETECTOR TEST
INTORDUCTION
Have you ever wondered if there
usually is a physical reaction when you lie? It is virtually
impossible for the human race not to lie. People begin to lie
convincingly at around the age of four. Have you ever detected when
someone was lying to you? Obviously some lies are undeniably easier
to detect than other lies.
The science of the human mind is
extremely complex and mysterious. We as humans have only touch the
surface of what the mind is capable of. Mankind have sought ways to
discern the truth from the lies in individuals suspected of doing
wrong. Various techniques have been tried over the centuries,many
being cruel and unusual. Unfortunately in some cultures when you lie
it can potentially lead to death.
My experiment is conducting a
simple but precise lie-detector test using what was given to us from
birth. I am going to demonstrate how to detect a lie by asking my
volunteers to first write down three of their likes and dislikes.
Then I will ask each volunteer to stand with me face to face at an
arm distance. My volunteer will extend out their arm as I place my
hand on top of their wrist. Finally I will ask my volunteer to say a
few phrases while keeping their arm up as I apply constant pressure.
Consequently I will be able to detect if each phrase is a lie or
truth by the resistance or lack of when I apply pressure.

You’d be fascinated to know more
about using solar energy and power! My experiment is using the sun to
cook a meal in my solar oven,consequently i’m saving electricity.
Because saving electricity can be useful during times,and using a
solar oven can be a fun way to cook a meal. Sun cookers are amazingly
efficient! What are different ways of using the suns heat?
It’s incredible to think that
solar ovens can be very useful in other places that don’t have gas
stoves or ovens. Solar ovens work by the aluminum foil that reflects
the suns light aiming it directly at the pot. Solar ovens have a
shelf that serves two purposes,first it holds a pot second and most
importantly it acts as a heat sink.The shelf then radiates the
heat,and this radiant energy stays mostly trapped in the inner box
which warms it. Solar ovens heat up to (>10C and 50F)
You’ll be amazed to know that
solar ovens are fun to use and don’t take much time to build,i’m
going to be talking about the procedures and materials that you will
need to make this project. First you will need two boxes,you will
need a big box and a smaller box. Next you will need to cut the big
box in half in the middle of the top and bottom side of the box. Then
you push the top and bottom side of the box together to make it
exactly the same size as the smaller box. Finally you will need to
cover inner box with aluminum foil so that the aluminum foil will
absorb the suns heat,and you will also need to make the top lid for
the solar oven. You will also need to put aluminum foil on the flap
of the lid so that the suns light will reflect off the aluminum foil
so that it can directly hit the pot the first attempt I will make in
my solar oven is rice.

It’s fascinating to think and
learn about electromagnetism, electricity,conductors insulator,and all circuits. My experiment is to
safely construct circuits and a series circuits to test conductors
and insulator. Because electricity can not travel through a
conductors if it is an open circuits or a short circuits such as in
radios tv’s phones and other elections. Electricity ultamatly
powers the world .Why do you think having a coronal mass ejection
would destroy all electronic devices?
let me clarify what exactly
a short circuit is and a parallel circuit. A short circuit is a
electric cord made up of wires covered by an insulator. A parallel
circuit is in a series circuit that light bulbs are placed one after
the other. Now let me educate you about what is an insulator and
what is a conductor. A insulator is a barrier to electricity. Now let
me tell you what is a conductor a conductor is electricity that can
pass through the wire.
It’s fascinating to learn about
making your own elections light up playdough. Experimenting with two
different types of play dough a conductor and an insulator. I am
cooking a play dough with two badges to design a squishy circuit.
Because playing with play dough is fun but playing with electric play
dough is incredible fun! First let me tell you and teach you about
how to make a conductive play dough and insulating play dough. All
you need is a cooking pan and all kinds of mixing bowls to make your
insulating play dough conductive. Cooking and insulating play dough
and a conductive play dough is incredible fun! All you do is take a
series circuit and turn it into three-dimensional structure.
