YES MA'AM

YES! MA'AM

Today I had the opportunity to go into Mrs. Beavers's Classroom and continue our work with YES! MA'AM. Our focus today was to put a whole YES! MA'AM together.  We began the lesson by reviewing how to write a Yes! MA'AM: Restating the question and providing an answer/inference, citing evidence using a sentence starter, and closing it by restating the answer/inference.  Students then went back to their seat and read the Newsela article: "Driverless Cars, Flying Cars, and Now Walking Cars".
                              

After reading students answered the question: "Elevate" was introduced by Hyundai at a car show in Las Vegas. What sets "Elevate" apart from other cars? Use two details from the text to support your answer. We used a scaffold today with the four boxes and students were also provided the sentence starters. Students worked on one part at a time, and then we checked back in whole group.
Here are some examples from today:
