English Reference Folder Bundle- Back to School Notes for Secondary ELA

This bundle of notes is what I give my students to create a resource folder that they can take with them at the end of the year. As I give them out during the different units, I print them on colored paper and punch holes in them. This signals the students that this is a resource that goes in the brads of their folder.

Former students have told me that they are so glad that I provided them with all this information that they could keep and use as they go through high school. I have used these notes from 6th grade ELA to English III in some form or another.

This bundle includes notes over the following:

Character Traits/Static vs Dynamic Characters (2 pages)
