The Witch of Blackbird Pond chapter vocabulary is a helpful time saver when writing sub plans. Page numbers from the book would be great!
January 26, 2013
Dianapak (TpT Seller)
Great! I would have included page numbers, but different versions of the book may have different page numbers and I didn't want to risk the words not being where the list says they are.

This was great. I wish there were a few more questions per chapter and maybe some vocab to go with it, but it is a great start and I appreciate the "springboard".

Tracy Fordham (TpT Seller)
This is a great reading comprehension test. I will add some short and extended response questions to it, but it covers exactly what you say it covers and it clearly meets standards and benchmarks addressed.

hi- is there an answer key for this (Taming of the Shrew) wordsearch????
June 2, 2010
Dianapak (TpT Seller)
There is now :) ... but just for the fill in the blanks, I never had one for the wordsearch portion. I added it to the download. If you already paid for the download, you should be getting a notification that it has been revised and be able to download it again free of charge. Please let me know if that is not the case and I will make the key a separate free download.

ok so thanks for leading me to the answer key for the test for "The Witch of Blackbird Pond"! I hate to bug you again, but i also purchased your questions too, is there an answer key for that?
October 20, 2009
Dianapak (TpT Seller)
Unfortunately I don't have a key for the reading questions (plus quite a few questions have varying answers because they ask for the student's own thoughts). I hope both the test and reading questions work out for you!
October 21, 2009
Tiffany Herron (TpT Seller) re: THE WITCH OF BLACKBIRD POND Test
is there an answer key provided for this test? i purchased the test but didn't see access to any sort of answer key....

ssateacher re: THE WITCH OF BLACKBIRD POND Wordsearch
The Witch of Blackbird Pond Wordsearch is an excellent review of the novel and worked very well as a test preview--great idea! The wordsearch is challenging--my 7th graders worked in groups and it was completely engaging, generating good discussion of the book. Since it took me a bit of time to do it, I thought I'd provide a key--D means diagonal on the search and B means backwards (located either left to right or bottom to top).

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I returned to my Junior High School in Glendale, CA, which is now Toll Middle School (instead of "Junior High"), and taught English for three years. I've taught 7th Grade Regular English and ELD 4 and 8th Grade Regular, Advanced English and ELD 1-2, and 3. I went back to substituting after teaching 3 years full-time but have since been pursuing a writing career. Although I am no longer a classroom teacher, I hope the tests, worksheets, reference sheets, and activities that I had created while I was in the classroom make the days go by a little easier for today's and tomorrow's teachers.
MY TEACHING STYLE
It's been a while since I went through my classroom management class and so I don't remember the theoretical basis for my teaching style, but basically, I am quirky and like to joke around and have fun with my students, but that comes after a mutual respect has been established. I have high behavioral standards as well as classroom rules and procedures that promote responsibility and initiative. Although I do encourage and genuinely listen to students' thoughts, concerns, and opinions, the final decision about anything is made by me; that decision may be influenced by students, but it is still my decision. I make sure my students understand this. I love planning and creating lessons, handouts, presentations, etc. It's always so exciting to plan a lesson that you know will be fun for the students and give them the opportunity to learn something new. I love just talking with my students. We often go off on tangents, but I think it's worth extending the lesson a bit longer and spend time just learning more about each other.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
Yet to be added
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I spent most of my pre-college years in the Glendale Unified School District in California. First at Columbus Elementary, then to Toll Junior High, and finally to Hoover High School. Then it was onward to UC Irvine where I received my B.A. in Classical Civilization (Ancient Greek and Roman history, mythology, art, literature). After graduating from UCI, I attended Cal State Los Angeles for my teaching credential. I will get my Master's at some point, but not just yet...
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I belong to a family of teachers: My mom has been a teacher for 20 years, my twin sister is teaching English and History for 6th grade (at a middle school) and my younger sister is finishing up her Bachelor's but is planning on possibly teaching art. My dad even taught as a substitute teacher. It's just our nitch. Although I have decided to pursue a career in writing, I will always be a teacher at heart. Aside from the teaching aspect of me ... I love nature and the outdoors, animals, cooking, gardening, reading fantasy and historical fiction.
