Reading Minute Resources – Room 3. The Reading Minute (aka Article of the Day)The resources below support Kelly Gallagher’s strategy of doing “minute readings” on a daily basis. You can read about Gallagher’s approach here. Like Gallagher, I start the process and then ask kids to bring in their own readings to share with the class.

Additionally, I will read from things the students will later read independently. This helps scaffold the students into the content. I also use video as part of this effort.

In a Tom Hanks Mood? Here’s a Viewing Guide to All 4. His Movies. You might say there’s a unified theory of Hanks: The actor contains multitudes, but is always Tom Hanks. As a result, he’s often accused of playing one character: the fundamentally decent, good- hearted, noble but humble all- American everyman. There’s some truth to this, of course — Hanks wouldn’t work as Travis Bickle, no matter how hard he tried. But it’s not fair to paint Hanks as playing the same character over and over, and it certainly wouldn’t be fair to say that he doesn’t challenge himself or take chances.

Hanks has transformed himself from the party- dude of Bachelor Party to the romantic lead of Sleepless in Seattle to the war hero of Saving Private Ryan to the six different characters he plays, amusingly, in Cloud Atlas. The guy might only play a certain number of notes, but he always manages to make them sound unique. All of his movies can be grouped into seven different categories, though, and if you’re in the mood for the sort of entertainment only a Hanks movie can provide, this guide is a good jumping- off point.

We’ve arranged his filmography into buckets based on the sort of Hanks performance you can expect, ranked the movies within each grouping, and indicated where you can find them on streaming. To see Inferno and Sully, you’ll have to head to a theater.)We’ve also indicated in parentheses where each title falls in our overall rank of Tom Hanks movies, in case you’re simply looking for the best of the best. A note: We limited our guide to live- action movies only, meaning Hanks’s superb turns in the three Toy Story films aren’t on the list. It goes without saying that there’s never a bad time to watch a Toy Story movie.

HANKS AS WACKY BOSOM BUDDIES GUYHanks broke out as a comedic leading man straight from the sitcom world, and it’s worth noting that the Tom Hanks Character, in the ‘8. But even during that period, you could see him evolving.

Big (1. 98. 8) (Rank: 6)This was the one that made everybody realize: Oh, Hanks isn’t just a comedy guy, he could maybe be the biggest movie star in the world. As the boy who gets his wish to be big, Hanks gives a glorious, hilarious, and sweet performance as a 1. He’s limber and wild and untethered — it’s one of his best physical comedy performances — but he never lets you forget there’s a scared little kid in there. Hanks didn’t win Best Actor* for this performance, even though the movie was a huge hit, which was seen by many at the time as a sign that comedy was never going to be given a break by the Academy. Nevertheless, this performance is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Available to rent on: Amazon, i.

Tunes, Vudu. Splash (1. Rank: 1. 1)A massive hit that essentially launched the film careers of Hanks, Daryl Hannah, and Ron Howard, Splash is funny and sharp, particularly when it takes its fish- out- of- water premise literally and lets Hannah’s mermaid try to interact with mid- ’8. New York City. There are some parts that might be called “problematic” today — and there’s always been an argument that Hanks and sidekick John Candy should have switched roles — but this, as much anything else, was what initially sold everyone on Hanks.

Even when he’s being a jerk (and he’s a jerk a lot in the movie), you can’t help but be on his side. Available to rent on: Amazon, i. Tunes, Vudu. Punchline (1. Rank: 2. 2)Punchline confused audiences and critics when it came out because it was a movie about stand- up comedy that was not all that funny. That was by design, though, and the film has aged better than you might think. Hanks plays a struggling stand- up comedian who comes across a housewife (Sally Field) trying out on open- mic nights who turns out to be pretty good.

Hanks resents her success but also cares for her — and, as the movie hints, he has some emotional instability issues of his own. Hanks isn’t much of a stand- up comic — you never buy that he’s any good — but he gets at the desperation at the heart of showbiz. It’s a better performance, and movie, than people appreciated at the time. Available to rent on: Amazon, i.

Tunes, Vudu Bachelor Party (1. Rank: 2. 6)Your mileage is going to vary on a lot of the Tom Hanks, Disposable Lead of Dopey ’8. Comedies, entries, but this one is definitely one of the silliest, dumbest and, amusingly, most eternal: There are movies from this time period that Hanks can hide from now, but this is definitely not one of them. After all, this is a movie in which a donkey does cocaine.

Don’t see that every day. Available to rent on: Amazon. Dragnet (1. 98. 7) (Rank: 2.

The closest Hanks will ever come to playing Poochie, the skateboarding dog from The Simpsons. Hanks is the young, “cool” cop contrasting with Dan Aykroyd’s Joe Friday impression, and he has as much fun as you can in a silly movie in which Aykroyd considers himself the star.

The major takeaway is a deeply disturbing “rap” video Aykroyd and Hanks made to promote the film. Watch at your own peril. I’m here tonight, to rap about your rights.” Yikes. Available to rent on: Amazon, i. Tunes. Turner & Hooch (1. Rank: 3. 2)The buddy cop- with- a- dog movie that, despite being a hit, famously inspired Hanks to start reevaluating his career — making the pivot that would win him multiple Oscars — Turner & Hooch isn’t that terrible. Well, it’s not any worse than Tango & Cash, how about that?) However, proceed with caution: If you get sad when a dog dies in a movie, you will cry a lot.

Er, spoiler alert?) Available with subscription on Netflix; to rent on: Amazon, i. Tunes, Vudu. Volunteers (1. Rank: 3. 3)It’s tough for Hanks to play a jerk, but he’s definitely a snobby jerk in this Nicholas Meyer comedy about a rich kid who has to escape angry creditors pursuing a gambling debt by joining the Peace Corps. There’s not much here — it was the end of an aborted Hanks- and- Candy comedy team — but it is where Hanks met his wife Rita Wilson, so there’s that. Available with subscription on HBO; to rent on Amazon. Nothing in Common (1. Rank: 3. 4)Hanks plays an advertising executive whose life is turned upside down — this is the exact description of many Hanks roles at this time — when his parents (Jackie Gleason and Eva Marie Saint) get divorced and he has to take care of both of them.

This is high- concept and tiresome, and Gleason, in particular, hams it up every time he’s onscreen, but this was the start of Hanks’s pivot toward a more “serious” screen persona. Watch The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure Online Free 2016 here.
