Thanks for making a great template to use and build on! Transitions are not easy to get students to "kick-up" and this helps!

Love this! I was really struggling with how to implement this standard, and you laid it out perfectly. The great thing is, that I can follow this format with other fiction/non-fiction pieces and continue to re-enforce the learning! Thank You!

I was wondering if you had an answer key to accompany this project (Christmas Carol). I am not too familiar with this novel as it is my firt time using it in the classroom. Thnak you.

Kris (TpT Seller)
I am sorry I did not get back to you sooner, Juliette. We were away for the holiday. I do not have an answer key for the research project. The information is pretty easy to find. Some topics are a bit more difficult than others (i.e. debtors' prisons). However, all of the information can be found on the web. If you have difficulty with a particular topic, send a message in my inbox and I'll help you out!

duck re: SMARTBoard Notebook Lesson Sentence Fragments and Run-ons
I paid for the lesson, but was unable to download it. The notification on my computer said there were mistakes in it. Please help.

Kris (TpT Seller)
Do you have the SMART Notebook software installed in your computer? It won't work without it because it is a notebook file. If you have the software installed, I can email it to you if you give me your email address.

I bought this but I can't open it. I tried ActivInspire and PowerPoint. Can you help me?

It is a SMART Notebook file. If you do not have SMART Notebook software, it will not work. What I think I can do is copy the slides to Powerpoint and send it to you. I do not know if the pull tabs and all the other bells and whistles will work though.
Can you give me your email address? Also, just to let you know, I am in NY and we might lose power due to the hurricane. It is pretty bad by me right now. If we lose power/Internet, I will send it to you as soon as I can.

Thanks Meghan! I am glad you like it. I do not have anything regarding worksheets/lessons for writing a compare/contrast thesis statement. I do have basic pointers and some sample introductions that I would be glad to email to you. I just need your email address.

MY TEACHING STYLE
I am a hands-on teacher, but that does not mean lecture and notes. I incorporate partner activities, cooperative learning activities, games, book clubs/literature circles, and much more in my weekly lesson planning.
