Anchor+Charts

I found this anchor chart online, and it made me think that if I were to use something like this in my classroom, I would use it at the very beginning of the unit, and have students post their background knowledge on one chart (what we know), what we think is going to happen on another chart (what we infer), and at the end of the unit, what really happened (what we learned).

This anchor chart could be used in any subject in the classroom. For my standard, I would have students meet in reading groups and, through content reading, I would have them consider the elements of the cattle trails, immigration, and even westward expansion.

This is a great anchor chart for reciprocal teaching, and can be used throughout the content areas. I would use this with my standard by having students read an article on one of the elements, and complete the steps of reciprocal teaching in groups with the articles.
