I look forward to using this with partners or groups of 4 students. A fun, interactive way to teach grammar. Thank you!

Susan Lipson (TpT Seller)
This handout offers helpful information regarding point-of-view and narrative styles; however, it would be far more helpful to both students and teachers if it included some examples of each narrative style--either passages from stories (on a separate page, for matching with each narrative style on your handout), or titles of books/stories that use each style (for students to find on their own). One could also use this as a homework assignment, asking students to find examples of each POV in books they have read or will soon read.
May 21, 2013
Angie Kratzer (TpT Seller)
Susan, thanks for the feedback. This stand-alone handout is part of a large unit on rhetorical analysis and includes some of the elements you suggest.

Susan Lipson (TpT Seller) re: Point of View Terminology Graphic
Ah, I didn't know this was part of a larger unit. Maybe you should make that clear to purchasers on this product description, and suggest that we purchase the larger lesson. So, which unit should I purchase now, to use this most effectively?

One of my projects this summer is the addition of hyperlinks to all my product descriptions. Here's the unit:

Rebecca Sisco (TpT Seller) re: Question Stem Strategies for the AP English Language & Composition Exam
What I meant by that comment is that when I rated your packet, my options were given by grades. It had B-, B, B+, and then A. It didn't leave me an option for A+. In other words, this packet is FANTASTIC!!! A plain "A" doesn't seem good enough. :)

Oh! Well, that's quite a compliment! Thank you.
I just uploaded a revised version of the product. I found a crazy typo on the stems list. If you still can't open it, I'll shoot it to you again via e-mail.

I just wanted to touch base to make sure you were still participating in the Middle School Conference Opportunity! Are you still able to come to the conference, too? There have also been a ton of updates in the forum, so be sure to take a look. And, I was accepted to present at the NCCSS at the end of February in Greensboro! :)

cfosland re: Complex Sentence Consulting Line
Can you tell me how many pairs are included in this set? What size class do you typically have for this activity? I'm looking at using it with average to lower level readers in 9th grade. I have classes as large as 30 and as small as 12.
January 13, 2013
Angie Kratzer (TpT Seller)
Good question! I had to go back and count, and there are twelve sentences, enough clauses for 24 students. The product is a Word document, so add whatever you need to add before you print and cut. I'll be using these with a class of average to lower level 9th graders next week! Let me know if yours like the activity.

I can't claim the original idea, unfortunately. A buddy of mine is a middle school math teacher, and I saw her make a simple version of this tool with index cards and an envelope clasp. Brilliant!

Actually not a question, but I wanted to let you know...
I downloaded the preview of your points of view paper (the one with the descriptions and pictures). The preview opens up in powerpoint and the black preview box can easily be deleted. I did not keep the item b/c I feel that it is necessary to pay people for the work that they are selling, however, it is possible for someone to keep that resource without paying. You might want to change the preview document to a pdf so the buyer can not see all the words/print it right out etc. Let me know if you have questions about this.
