Thank you. These mini lessons will be great. I will add the rules of course before each lesson, for students to keep in their notebooks as reference. This may be something you consider incorporating at a later date. The key is an awesome bonus.
Thank you

laurajane re: Grammar Mini-Lessons (all grammar topics on state testing)
I have noticed some mistakes in Pronoun-Antecedent Mini Lesson 3. #1, 3, and 10. Have you gotten any other feedback about corrections? I didn't check it before I handed it out, and my students noticed that there are errors.
January 29, 2013
Debi Braswell
Hi, Briana. I purchased your MLA practice and tests....but the test is missing #16 and has two #23s. I'm not sure how to read the answer key now because it doesn't match up with the numbers.
October 27, 2012
EducatNsocal (TpT Seller)
Oh my! I am so terribly sorry about that! I will try to make the corrections by tonight. Once I do so, it will provide an option to email buyers with an announcement that there has been an update and should invite you to re-download (which doesn't charge you). I'll message you once I've done so. Again, my apologies! ~Briana
I've updated the file, but need to try to upload tomorrow due TPT kicking me off the site each time I attempt to upload the file. This should be completed by tomorrow at the latest - you will receive an email update with confirmation that this is ready for you to download.
Thank you for your patience! ~Briana

Tracy Fordham (TpT Seller) re: Grammar Quizzes (High School) - just like the STAR exam!
Would it be possible to get these quizzes in a editable word document? I know some people don't like to do that, so I understand if that's not possible, but I teach high level 11th graders and I would need to beef up some of the questions by adding something a little more challenging. My class feeds into a dual enrollment class next year that uses a pretty tough grammar for writing book. I would love to use your stuff so I'm not totally "recreating the wheel." Yours is the best I've seen to meet my needs...Thanks
September 24, 2012
EducatNsocal (TpT Seller)
Absolutely! If you want to go ahead and purchase the item, then email me at brianahurd@yahoo.com, I'll be more than happy to send the file to you in Word format.
September 24, 2012
Tracy Fordham (TpT Seller) re: Grammar Mini-Lessons (all grammar topics on state testing)
You mention getting quizes from your website. Where can I find your website to attain the quizzes? I teach honors 11th graders and need challenging grammar. I'm boring them to tears with what I'm using right now. Any suggestions?

bmoffat re: Grammar Quizzes (High School) - just like the STAR exam!
Do you provide an answer key for each activity and quiz?
September 16, 2012
EducatNsocal (TpT Seller)
Yes - there is an answer key for each quiz, along with a short description as to why that answer is correct and why the other choices are not. There is not, however, an answer key for the practice exercises, which I will work on creating over the next holiday break. Thank you for your question!

Pamela Faulkner (TpT Seller) re: Lots of MLA Practice
Is this up-to-date with the 2009 MLA changes. I noticed in the thumbnail you used Bibliography instead of Works Cited.
July 29, 2012
EducatNsocal (TpT Seller)
Thank you for catching that! I have been using them interchangably because I noticed both terms used in state testing ("Bibliography" is used in the 10th grade test released questions - http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/documents/cstrtqela10.pdf - and "Works Cited" is used in the 9th grade test released questions - http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/documents/cstrtqelagr9.pdf).
Let me know if you notice anything else! Thanks!

jillayny re: Grammar Mini-Lessons (all grammar topics on state testing)
I am scheduled to teach English 9 and 10 for students reading at 6.0-7.5 grade level. Would this be accessible for them? Thanks!
July 23, 2012
EducatNsocal (TpT Seller)
Absolutely! Most grammar topics are introduced in elementary school, but are expected to master by high school. My collegues use these Mini-Lessons in intermediate and high school settings among special education students, English Learner students, general ed, and honors students. I also recommend the the Grammar Quizzes - it includes the lesson to teach each of the grammar topics to the students. Hope that helps!

I'm being lazy . . . Is there a pre-made key for this? Thanks!
December 27, 2011

No problem! I have created the answer key and added it to the last pages of the packet. Please download the updated version for the latest copy.
Thank You!

lindastill re: Grammar: Using Quotes & Citing Sources
This powerpoint is about citing sources and using proper punctuation, not pronoun-antecedent agreement! I would love to see your pronoun-antecedent ppt if you could share it! Thanks so much! (PS...this is a great powerpoint!)

I am terribly sorry about that, and thank you so much for letting me know! I have created a new listing with the pronoun-antecedent PowerPoint. It is ready for your free download!

pporciuncula re: CELDT Reading (3 of 4)
Can you modify your intermediate and high school celdt lessons for grades 3-5? I am administering the celdt by mid-October. Listening, speaking, and reading.
September 8, 2011
EducatNsocal (TpT Seller)
I just took a look at the CELDT Test Released Questions for grades 3-5 and it looks identical. In fact, I might just change my packets to reflect all grades (only K-2 show real differences). If there is any difference between the 3-5 and 6-12 test, it would simply be the number of questions for each section. If you download the "Preview," you can compare that with the Test Released Questions to see the similarities.
Hope this helped! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi Briana,
I was looking at your CELDT prep packets. I noticed that there wasn't a writing packet listed. Is there one available?

Interviv re: CELDT Reading (3 of 4)
Do you have any materials for elementary school age students?
August 8, 2011
EducatNsocal (TpT Seller)
Hi! I don't have anything specifically for any one grade level, but if you compare the test released questions at, say, grades 3-5 in Speaking, you'll see it's pretty close to what I've created (refer to page 38 on the test released questions http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/el/documents/celdtrtqs0111.pdf). The only difference is perhaps the way the students' responses are graded. If you tell me what grade or range of grades you're looking for, as well as the CELDT area you're interested in, I can compare the two for you and either give you the go-ahead to get what I already have, or make some adjustments to make it more grade appropriate for you.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
After spending years in the field of marketing, I have found a new passion as an educator. Specifically focusing on Language Arts, I enjoy creating lessons that prepare students for state testing to help expose the students, prepare the students, and ultimately assist them with becoming more proficient with key communication skills.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I use "backwards mapping" when planning each unit. I begin with selecting the appropriate standards relevant to my unit/lesson. Then, refer to test-released questions on state testing to see how these standards are tested. This creates a framework for which I create lessons to help scaffold and teach to mastery in each class. It is said a person needs 28 repetitions of any given new concept for a student to master, so I use this methodology to create and review concepts throughout the year.
