I’ve said this before on my blog, but it is most definitely worth saying again, I work with an amazing group of middle school language arts educators. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t learn something from each one that I work with. I have a special treat for my blog followers, and that is a picture walk through my middle school through anchor charts!
Purposes of anchor charts include:
- To display routines and expectations throughout different parts of Reading and Writing Workshop.
- To have up as inspiration for ideas in writing or how to select books during reading.
- To chart and summarize the learning of a specific lesson that can be referenced again and again throughout the year.
- To give students ownership in the classroom by displaying their self-generated ideas.
Below are anchor charts from 5th-8th grade language arts classrooms. I think it’s pretty safe to say that it’s easy to tell from the anchor charts that there are some amazing learning experiences happening in the reading and writing of students.
I hope you enjoy the anchor charts, and that they inspire new ideas in your classroom
