If you're needing a high engagement, gamified approach to close reading you should def check out emc2

The best part of using #eduprotocols & #emc2learning are these frequent notes I get.... Constant engagement! Kids love it & I love seeing kids actually love school, that's tough teaching a title 1 school with 75% kids on free lunch

Putting together a rough draft of my lesson plan coming off of spring break this Monday

It's a good mix of #eduprotocols & #emc2learning

We'll be starting our Middle East unit... The students will be developing next level literacy & daily spaced practice review

Finishing these last weeks 💪
