For anyone who knows me, knows I am a HUGE advocate for the platform Pear Deck! I was first introduced to Pear Deck in November of 2020, right in the middle of remote learning. It saved me when it came to getting back student engagement. Ever since, I have used it on weekly basis (sometimes a daily basis). Below you will find various examples of Pear Decks that I have created, modified from Pear Deck itself, in my ELA Classroom.
This Pear Deck has been modified from a Deck Template found on the Pear Deck website. On a weekly basis, I have my students read independently a book of their choice or a book club book. This deck has various questions to practice reading comprehension skills.
This Pear Deck has the students practice signposts. As part of reading comprehension, it is a good practice for students to find different reasons to stop and jot (to notice and note). This is a good deck to use if you are introducing notice and note to your students or just want to review this skill.
This Pear Deck has students practicing characterization, which is a big skill I had my students focus on this year, especially with their independent reading days. This can be modified to make it easier to access for low level students as well as ways to make it more challenging for your higher level students.
This Pear Deck was created as a review for one of the novels with my 6th graders: Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli. This can be used as a template or "How To" when making novel review Pear Decks.
(Side note: If you have never read this novel, check it out! My 6th graders have always been fascinated with the perspective this novel provides for a well known time in history: the Holocaust.
