If I had to choose 3 apps that I was stuck with forever, they would be: Edmodo, Google Drive, and Haiku Deck.

The Problem
In our 7th grade writing class, we are responsible for teaching two kinds of essays: expository and personal narrative. The most difficult thing about it is teaching students the process of revising and editing.

The Garvin Cup
The Garvin Cup has been an annual event for 7 years now.
WGMS ELA Olympics
A co-worker came up with the idea to try the Olympics with the entire 7th grade. Our events revolved around grammar and writing concepts.
the ninja board
The ninja board is a culminating activity that happens the last 6-weeks. Students pass quizzes that cover concepts we've learned over the course of the year to move up.
x-BOx inspiration
The idea to use Edmodo badges came when I was playing Fifa soccer on X-Box and earned an achievement badge.
