My goal this year was to get a new Learning In the Loo poster out once every week or two. It’s already been a month I think since I put my first one up 🤣
Earlier this year I read about a new (I think new?) site called Diffit that can create levelled reading resources based on topics or provided texts. In a school like mine that has both ESL & ELD students in many course sections, this can be a big time saver for teachers looking to find resources at the reading level of their students. And literacy is a big focus for our school board this year.
So I grabbed a few images to help explain what Diffit does & posted these in every teacher toilet stall in the building:
As always, all my past editions (including this one) of Learning in the Loo can be found here.
