For an anchor chart, you want to have a large display that shows how to use a specific literacy skill. These can be used during your mini-lesson or even during small group instruction. A student would write the learning target in big letters on a piece of chart paper and hold it up high, as we all said the words together! *Insert proud teacher tears here.*Īnchor charts are an essential component to your daily ELA block. It became a part of our routine! If our projector was out or technology was down for a day, they came to the rescue. I had my students say the Learning Target aloud when it was displayed. Teach the students that when the Learning Target is posted, they need to stop and think, checking their understanding, resetting their intention. Duplicate the slide and drop it in the middle and end of the presentation. Add a slide at the beginning of a presentation that has the “I can” statement displayed. If you use a PowerPoint or SmartPresentation to guide your ELA block, you can easily include your learning target. For example: “I can identify the main idea of a nonfiction text,” or “I can describe the setting of a story.” Throughout the lesson, you can refer back to the learning target to allow students to check their understanding, and again at the end of a lesson or block. Usually, this will be an “I can” statement. The display could be as simple as having a designated space on your whiteboard! Write the learning target (or even have the kiddos write it!) at the beginning of each lesson. Many schools even require learning targets to be displayed in your classroom at all times. They will know what to focus on and will have a target to refer back to when practicing the skill throughout the block. Spending a few minutes discussing what the objective is will be highly beneficial for both the students and you! Students will better understand what the goal of the lesson is. It is essential to start each lesson with a learning target or objective.
We are going to start by talking about learning targets! These targets should be a 2-3 minute time allotment for your ELA block.
