The verbs in the book are difficult. The tier 2 words chosen are hard for the lower readers. Even though they are chosen as tier 2 they are still difficult for my lower readers to understand and grasp.
February 11, 2013
Lauralee Moss (TpT Seller)
Hi. The school where I taught this exercise did not use tier classification, but I did make another worksheet for Chapter 20. I just uploaded the new worksheet - an extra 25 sentences, and did not raise the price (for future buyers). I hope this helps, because as you said, this book does have difficult verbs. Her language is wonderful, and I hope this gets all students excited about finding her dynamic verbs. Thanks so much for the honest feedback!!

I think some of it is better suited for lower grades, but it is a good, organized packet for most students. They will not struggle too much with it in the higher grades.

This is great! It is just what I was looking for to help me with this book. I will be buying other things. THANKS!!!

You are welcome! I am thrilled it will help you. Hopefully as I teach it, I add and tweak so you can have updates.

Really looking forward to this. The speech can be long to listen to but kids really get hooked!
January 8, 2013
Lauralee Moss (TpT Seller)
The speech is long, but I usually split it up over two class periods or assign some of it as homework. I also use it to meet some of my nonfiction common core objectives. Thanks for your purchase!

Great grammar activities for The Hunger Games. I am looking forward to part 2 being released. I needed a way to infuse grammar lessons with the novel and your unit combines the two smoothly and makes grammar relevant instead of a separate part of language arts. Thanks!
January 6, 2013
Lauralee Moss (TpT Seller)
Hi! I wanted to let you know part 2 is in my store. I am glad that you like the material. Part 3 is almost complete as well.

I am doing a Holocaust module with Wiesel's Night and Gerda Weissmann Klein's All But My Life, and this speech/internet activity was a brilliant start. The accompanying work sheets and vocabulary exercise were exactly what I needed. The students were impressed with the speech and we are finding many connections as we read Night.

I am so pleased that this added positively to your unit. My students normally respond well to it also. Thanks very much for the kind words!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Tracy Mendez (TpT Seller) re: Five Nonfiction Writing Activities: Common Core Aligned
Teaching 7th and 8th grade. Do you think this level is too high?
May 8, 2013
Lauralee Moss (TpT Seller)
Unless they are advanced I do think it is too high. I hope this helps.
May 8, 2013
Christen68 re: Catching Fire: Over 300 Multiple Choice Questions
Are these questions aligned to the Common Core?
April 4, 2013
Lauralee Moss (TpT Seller)
These are simply comprehension questions - no analysis. I most often use them to open discussion after reading a chapter; I will have students answer these questions and then go over the quiz together. When I write my lesson plans, I use this as my tie to the CC: By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poems, at the high end of grades 6–8 text complexity band independently and proficiently.
I hope this helps. Thanks!
I hope this helps. Thanks!

Nicole Cook (TpT Seller) re: The Hunger Games: Part One Grammar Unit
Does each chapter of your unit correspond to a chapter in the book, or is it just different parts of speech? Also, is there a part 2 to this grammar unit?
January 6, 2013
Lauralee Moss (TpT Seller)
Yes - if the product says chapter 2, then the sentences are from chapter 2. I am almost done with part 2 of the grammar unit - I only have chapter 18 to revise. (I change/ add after I teach it to make sure all the "kinks" are worked out). It will be up shortly. Please let me know if this clarifies everything! Thanks so much.

Thanks for some great materials on Old Man and the Sea, including the ones I bought and the free one. For some reasons, you (or the site) left out the answer key for quiz on section one of OMS. However, today is a holiday; we've got to get going on this tomorrow and your materials have me ready. Again. Thanks.

Lauralee Moss (TpT Seller)
Hi. I am glad to have helped. I am emailing you the key, as I feel terrible about this. Thanks, Lauralee

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have taught at the high school level for almost eight years, instructed ACT courses, and written lesson plans and units for Book Rags. I taught for a year at an alternative school, grades 6-12. I also have written in the educational channel at Bright Hub and for the educational section at Everything Mom.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I am very systematic. Organization and structure are key for a safe and productive learning environment. When students understand expectations, they are willing to strive to meet them. With my teaching materials, I have clear instructions and diverse activities. Students learn best if their teachers provide them with a variety of learning methods. Creating so many activities is time consuming, especially in a world where time is so short. I am so happy to provide and buy lesson plans, worksheets, and testing materials.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
In over ten years of teaching, I have applied for and received five classroom grants. My master's research project was published in ERIC Digest.
