I know i've got it when....

I use my classroom chalkboard in my classroom for a plethora of things:

Journal Questions

Reminders

Random Fact of the Day

Daily Agenda

Daily SOL

Exit Slips

Dead Words

I am thinking about changing up my board for next year. 

I am thinking about taking away my "dead words" and adding this section:

"I know I've got it when..." 

The way I see it working is if the agenda says:

TSW: Identify foreshadowing in Roald Dahl's "The Landlady"

The I Know I've Got it When section could say:

I can recognize at least 80% (or five instances) of foreshadowing in short stories on my own

Let me try another example

If the agenda says:

TSW: Identify and utilize figurative language

The I Know I've Got it When section could say:

I can define and give examples of:

Simile

Metaphor

Personification

Hyperbole

Alliteration

Onomatopoeia 

I figured this might be nice for kids to see

It would also be nice to try to write it in more kid friendly language
