Mission 4 Walls

In this resource I created a graphic organizer to point out characterization used in the short story by Langston Hughes in a very visual way. On the second page students can compare "Thank you M'am" to his poem "Mother to Son." Students loved this story and the handout made the discussion on characterization very easy to understand. We could finish the lesson in one class period after a bell-ringer. Feel free to adapt accordingly and add more writing requirements within the character pictures.

Do you have a lot of students who blurt out comments and questions when you're trying to teach? Do other students get discouraged when their classmates steal their thunder? Try this visual. You can laminate it and keep it on the board. Use a dry erase marker to add student names or numbers. Alternatively, you can use the student numbers included and glue them to clothes pins. Move their number down the blurt chart each time they talk out of turn and help them self regulate those impulses for the

I am very excited to share this resource. I have spent many hours creating it with hand drawn illustrations. These pages are intended to be used for print, cut, color, and glue activities to use in an interactive notebook as students study different vertebrates and invertebrates. They'll be able to customize their cover page, author page, and so much more. There are labels to place on pages where they will write their own research. You'll be able to reinforce the concept of text features by usin

Have you ever had trouble helping your students create their own outline for a paper? Organizing their thoughts, planning their essay, and creating a cohesive work of writing can seem like a very daunting task for some. To help my students with this task, I created an outline template. It is flexible and easy to adapt. I have specifically built this outline for persuasive writing to include a "hook" and a thesis. As a bonus, it helps minimize the temptation to plagiarize because they must create

This guided worksheet is a great resource for students as they read through the challenging text The Cask of Amontillado. They can use it for study notes, as a daily or homework grade, or the teacher can project it on the screen as a model for them to guide their work in notebooks or on loose leaf paper. The focus of this assignment is to teach/reinforce narrative plot diagramming as well as point out multiple types of irony used in the text.

Dear teacher, Thank you for looking into my resource. I created this Google lesson right when our school closed as we entered the great lockdown of 2020. Thankfully, I had been using Google Classroom with my students all year so transitioning to sudden distance learning wasn’t as bumpy as it could have been. This lesson was one of my favorites because I was able to embed everything needed into one Google Form. I included a short clip from the TV series “Sherlock” in case anyone hadn’t heard of

I formatted the pages to be printed 2 pages per sheet front and back so that all 4 pages are on one sheet of paper that can be folded in half. The sheet will work as a bookmark and students can take notes on each chapter as they read. Later they will have a helpful resource for their book report. This is not a substitute for Abeka curriculum but merely a help and supplement for classroom use. It is not for sal

I was very happy with the results of this assessment with my students. During the course of our study of Silas Marner, I gave three assessments. The first two I counted as quizzes (chapters 1-5 and chapters 6-13) and this last one I counted as a test; of course you can use them anyway you see fit in your classroom. The most gratifying thing about these resources for me was seeing how the students were learning while processing the assessment. Rather than only guessing at multiple choice question

When having students view a video such as this captivating Ted Talk, I like to give them a handout to fill out so that it will encourage them to stay on task and listen for specific details. What I liked about this speech is how she began and ended it with her thesis--it was like a strong persuasive essay. Her topic was also engaging because most of my students have seen a Pixar movie. I like to point out how reading is not that much different from watching media for entertainment--both involve

Alternatively, it can be an independent assignment for students to do in class with computers as they read. Question times are varied and I included

Instructions: I created this unit for use with my high school literature students. This unit was used with a whole class as well as a few independent study students—it is a print and go resource. I wanted to show my students how rich the vocabulary and figurative language is in A Christmas Carol as well as review the overall plot which is so famous in our culture. I included sample grading scales to help with grading these handouts. If desired, you can have the students compare and contrast the
