For my first attempt at using Scribd, I wanted to share the packet that I sent home for summer. My partner teacher created a math packet, and I did the language arts side. I looked at examples from Two Writing Teachers and The Reading Zone before creating my packet. This is the first time that I have ever done a summer packet, so it was really a trial and error. Since I strongly believe in not assigning something that we would not do ourselves, I am doing the activities over the summer to help decide what I need to revise for next year.
I liked how both of the examples that I looked at referenced activities that they did in class. I was not able to do that as much because I only had one grade level this year and the other incoming class was with different teachers. For next year I am considering having two separate packets, one generic one for students who have not been in my class yet, and a more personalized one for returning students. Also, on week one, I forgot to add a reading response activity. The example of how they should head their papers (referenced before the activities) was hand written and copied, so it does not appear in the document.
