Orthographic Mapping is the process of forming letter-sound connections
in order to combine and recall the spelling, pronunciation, and the
meaning of words. It is the mental process we use to permanently store
words for immediate, effortless retrieval. Orthographic mapping is a skill
that develops from phonemic awareness and grapheme-phoneme
knowledge.

Resources for a novel study on the "The Outsiders". Resources include literature circles, rubrics and extension activities.

Talk for Writing is an engaging teaching framework developed by Pie Corbett, supported by Julia Strong. It is powerful because it is based on the principles of how children learn. It enables children to imitate the language they need for a particular topic orally, before reading and analysing it, and then writing their own version.
library2go helps keep students reading. Students can access ebooks and audiobooks from the provincial library system if they have a library card. This is an opportune time for students to develop fluency and stamina for reading independently. Invite them to explore titles in different genres and to find nonfiction titles that build on their interests. If students don’t have a library card, they can check out their regional library’s membership tab. Many libraries have an online application option so that students can gain a temporary library card number to borrow materials

"PBS NewsHour Extra's lesson plans are outstanding and clever. For example, a lesson on unions asks students to watch a few short videos and then get into teams to resolve an imaginary labor dispute based on what they've learned about negotiation. Beyond the provided lesson plans, there are many videos with resources to help students process what they're watching -- like an essential question and key vocabulary -- as well as discussion questions to kick off post-viewing conversations. Plus, the majority of the lesson plans are tied to STEM-related issues, so they're ideal for cross-curricular collaboration.
Because the daily videos include transcripts, supporting links, questions, and an extension activity, they could be assigned as independent work, group work, or both. For instance, part of the class could work on their own with the video -- assuming individual internet access -- and then, as they finish, they could move into small groups to tackle the extension activity.
For journalism, media studies, or ELA classes, make sure to check out the Student Voices samples. They'd serve as great models for editorial writing. For classrooms that want do dive deeper into media creation and production, the Student Reporting Labs website has a great curriculum and supporting resources, including video tutorials for things like audio recording and lighting."
