How can I choose and provide activities to students?
Providing what students need when they need it
Pathblazer™ automates the delivery of targeted interventions to students at their proficiency level, but it also offers phenomenal digital learning activities that can be used at any time. These activity codes can be provided to students for quick access to additional content.
Scenarios
One suggestion we recommend is to use activity codes to provide on grade level work centered on a specific reading strategy. Use the TEKS Vertical Alignment spreadsheet to identify activities that would be appropriate for the TEKS you are covering today, or this week, and have students write them in their planners or send home in a newsletter.
| TEKS | Activity Code | Highlights |
| Grade 6 | ||
| 6.10.A | RLA6060 | Synthesizing information for text |
| 6.17 | RLA6121 | Analyzing writing organization |
| 6.17 | RLA6122 | Citing text evidence |
| Grade 7 | ||
| 7.3 | RLA7002 | Citing text evidence |
| 7.3 | RLA7166 | Analyze a story's character |
| 7.14.A | RLA7167 | Analyze text and think critically |
| Grade 8 | ||
| 8.10.D | RLA8107 | Analyzing texts critically |
| 8.6.B | RLA8007 | Finding specific text evidence |
| Fig 19E | RLA8057 | Summarizing objectively |
A second suggestion is to utilize our Pathblazer gameboards. These can be provided to students for homework, extra practice, or even extension work. Look in the resource section below for a premade gameboard for Grades 6, 7, and 8. There are 5 activities each for Fig 19 A-F.
If you would like to create your own, we have included a blank gameboard for you to use in the resources too.
How does it work?
Students can use the Activity Search icon on their dashboard.
Click on the magnifying glass,
type in the activity code 
and hit enter on the keyboard.
