This is an excellent resource. Thorough, well written, and complete. I love the fact that you include student response and group work within the Powerpoint itself.

I didn't think this was worth $1.50 and it references things a purchaser would not necessarily have such as "your textbook."
April 10, 2013
Beth Hammett the Educator Helper (TpT Seller)
Hi, Spiderspun,
Thanks so much for the constructive feedback--I reworked the materials, and I added five more slides to the packet. Included are: Plagiarism Court, traditional and non-traditional quizzes, real life scenarios. Thanks to you, the product is more interactive for students!

akamartin re: Having Fun with Plagiarism
The preview was a PowerPoint, but when I purchased it, it downloaded as a PDF file. Is this the format in which it was supposed to download?
Thanks!
Thanks!
May 18, 2013
Beth Hammett the Educator Helper (TpT Seller)
Hi! Yes, due to copyright issues on graphics, all presentations are in PDF format. You can copy the information over from PDF to PowePoint by selecting the copy image tool. I hope this helps!

susieq69 re: The Movie of...A Narrative Writing Using the Five Elements of Story
Beth, You have a great idea. However, there are too many graphics and not enough space for prewriting. Also, as students write their plot, it would be helpful to label the rising action, climax, falling action, etc... I urge you to reivise this and make this a resource that every classroom teacher would love to have.
April 11, 2013
Beth Hammett the Educator Helper (TpT Seller)
Thanks so much! I'll make revisions to the product and send out an updated version ASAP! Feedback to improve products is very important to me, so I appreciate your help.

susieq69 re: Persuasive Writing with Interactive Writing Activities
Does your Persuasive Writing include a rubric?
February 20, 2013
Beth Hammett the Educator Helper (TpT Seller)
Hi, Susie,
I added a Peer Workshopping component and Scoring Rubric to help make persuasive writing easier to implement. Thanks for the suggestion!
I hope the unit meets your needs and helps students with their writings. Another suggestion might be S.O.A.P., an alternative to the five-paragraph essay.
Enjoy and thanks for your patronage!

I just downloaded the "preview", and I think it might be the whole file! It's 9 pages, and there's no "demo" or anything watermarked in.
Just wanted to let you know!

Sheri Brown (TpT Seller) re: Hyperboles
When I download this it comes up as a PDF not a powerpoint. Please help I thought this was a powerpoint. The preview was so I am not sure what it is not working.
thanks!
thanks!
February 4, 2013
Beth Hammett the Educator Helper (TpT Seller)
Hi, Sheri,
All the PowerPoints have been converted to PDF because of copyright issues and for presentation purposes. They look polished once converted to PDF and used in front of audiences. They also print to fit the page once converted to PDF.
To copy the info over to ppt format, save the file. open the pdf and use the copy tool on the toolbar to paste into a new presentation. If this option is not available to you let me know, and I will try to send the file to you in another format.
Thanks for your patronage!

HoJo (TpT Seller) re: Comic Book Writing
Just wanted to let you know that the preview file for this item is a full 30 pages. Did you accidentally upload the full file and not just a preview? Or maybe not, but I just wanted to ask since your description states that the file is 30 pages long. Feel free to delete this comment after looking at it. Happy weekend! :)
January 26, 2013
Beth Hammett the Educator Helper (TpT Seller)
Hi! Thanks so much for letting me know that! I know I have lots of files, especially ones uploaded when I first signed up, that have show all the slides in the preview section. I'm trying to fix those as they are reported to me. I will fix the one mentioned ASAP. I appreciate the help! Thanks again!

I'll be happy to provide you with the PPT! On my screen, I'm not seeing which PPT you are referencing, so if you'll let me know then I'll email it on to you. You can email my personal address at mbhammett@aol.com. Thanks so much for being a follower! And I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
