This was a fun set of speeches for my students. Having the long list of examples helped. I only have a couple of speech students so I was able to make this multiple assignments. The students liked the different tones for their speeches.

Writer's Notebook is always a big hit in my room. The kids think we are doing "nothing" and just "having fun" while I get them to write. The sharing is their favorite part.

This fit the bill for a brief initial plagiarism for my eighth graders. Great examples of plagiarism. I'm not altogether happy with the correct way to do it--some of it still seems too close. There's a typo on the last frame--"site" should be "cite,"

Simple comprehension questions and test...saves time for writing them yourself! Only suggestion would be to provide an answer key.

breest re: Bell Ringers - For the ENTIRE Year!
Hi just a comment...i would probably buy this if I could see an example of material it covers. Thanks
April 6, 2013
Veronica Pace (TpT Seller)
It covers everything from grammar (parts of speech, usage, etc) to literary elements (alliteration, hyperbole, idiom, simile, etc). It is very comprehensive of language arts as a whole. Some are review of things I expect them to already know and just want to reinforce; others are things we learn throughout the year that I want to continually review.

Lynda Escalante (TpT Seller)
I bought the poetry using music unit for $5 and when I downloaded it the unit wasn't there just the answer key which I already downloaded for free. How can I get the unit with the worksheet like the sample you had on the website.
February 26, 2013
Veronica Pace (TpT Seller)
I do apologize. However, when I went back through my sales, I do not see any purchases made by "Lynda Escalante." Would it be listed under another name?

I, too, purchased the Poetry Unit Using Music and only received the answer key. Can I please have the rest of the unit?
February 10, 2013
Veronica Pace (TpT Seller)
I am not sure what has happened. When I go to edit, it shows the entire packet not the key. I believe I downloaded it as a zip file bc it is so large. However, I do see where you paid for it so if you will email me at loves2ride365@hotmail.com. Just put awashburn86 in the subject line so I know who you are. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Ms. Pace, I bought your unit and also downloaded the free answer key, but when I paid for the materials and went to download them the only thing that will come up on yours is the answer key. Can you help me sort this out? I paid for the unit, but the key was free. Thank you,

Hi Veronica, Thanks for the fun review game. I was glad to be able to give it a perfect rating!
I am new to TpT and wondered if you might help me out. I just posted a Kindergarten Common Core report card. Would you have a minute to take a look at it and consider leaving feedback for me?
Many thanks, Anne Gardner

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I formerly taught high school mathematics for two years out of my certification area. Although it was challenging, I truly loved it. I was fortunate enough to procure a position in the area of my passion: English. I have taught 8th grade English for five years. I am consistently and constantly seeking out ways or trying to create materials that take the passivity out of the English classroom and inspires some of my passion in my students. I recently finished my MSE in cuuriculum and instruction.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I use a variety of teaching styles depending on what it is I am teaching and the students I have at hand. I often use cooperative learning, whole group discussion, and group games/activities. I also like to use creative individual and group projects throughout my units. I use Literacy Lab and run my classroom in a workshop style with reader's workshop and writer's workshop. I firmly believe that education is not a passive act. The learner must be actively involved in order for interest and learning to occur. As students progress through the grade levels, interactive games and activities become harder and harder to find. This often prompts me to create my own lessons, units and activities that will engage my students.
