These are materials to use with the first chapter of The Greatest; Muhammad Ali by Walter Dean Myers. Included are a vocabulary list, fill in the blank vocabulary notes, a review crossword, a sequencing activity sheet, a grammar activity, and a quiz, and a word wall.

A simple crossword puzzle for students to complete after reading Walt Whitman's biography on Biography.com. For struggling students, I read the biography aloud in a small group and ask them to underline key words on their own printed copies.

This package includes five reading check points that asks students to draw conclusions from the text and support them with specific details. There are also handouts for students to keep track of rules in Jonas's community and characterization throughout the novel. Finally, there is a menu of assessments so students can differential their final projects by choice.

These handouts are to use with the short story "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury. Students are asked to analyze three parts of setting, time, location, and weather. The handouts include a vocabulary list, skeleton vocabulary notes, two graphic organizers, comprehension questions, a figurative language activity, a vocabulary review and a quiz.

This collection of handouts for "The All American Slurp" by Lensey Namioka includes a ten word vocabulary list, skeleton notes for recording vocabulary, a comprehension worksheet requiring students to make connections and comparisons, a word wall, a vocabulary review, and a short quiz.

This is a quick and easy vocabulary review activity. You can write vocabulary words in the word box before photocopying or project words for students to add themselves.
