Each week, I publish a post or two containing three or four particularly useful resources on classroom instruction, and you can see them all here.

Here are this week’s picks:
Teacher Think Alouds Work in Every Subject appeared in Middleweb.

I use the book, The Long March: The Choctaw’s Gift to Irish Famine Relief, in my ELL U.S. History class. Here’s what we do when we’re done reading it: Writing Prompt For “The Long March.”

Despite being poor themselves, Choctaw donated to help Irish in Great Famine.
“The Choctaw family identified with the anguish, the spread of disease & starvation” a few years after their own experience of hardship. “It was an extremely familiar heartache.” https://t.co/07P1uWDnHb— Niraj Warikoo (@nwarikoo) March 14, 2018
