Old RACE strategies are incomplete, leaving out the Restate wrap-up. This is extended to RACER. Again, most layouts are sequential and do not give a one-to-one correspondence between citations and explanations. A t-chart is incorporated in this layout to solve this missing component to allow for maximum student success as they're able to identify explicit evidence along with conclusion extensions for supreme, logical answers and discussion!

TEMPORARILY REDUCED! Basic introduction to matter as molecules (and simplified definition) along with the three main states of matter (excludes plasma). Powerpoint is equipped with animation upon click to show the differences in the way solids, liquids, and gases move. Better than digital whiteboard/SMARTboard lessons because of animations. Easily followed up with digital whiteboard media. I accompany this presentation with demonstrations using ice, water, and steam.

This worksheet (10 pages) accompanies a presentation consisting of 66 slides which clearly delineate definitions of logic and fallacies using a variety of real-world scenarios (advertising, speeches, situations). Answers are in the accompanying PowerPoint presentation (available separately). The presentation includes an Opposing Viewpoint Chart, types of communication (discussion, disagreement, argument), objective vs. subjective argument, argument identification, facts vs. inferences vs. opinio

This PowerPoint explores the use of sensory details in text. It begins with a dull passage, then injects it with each of the five categories of sensory details (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste) to bring it to life. The slides provide color coding of all language used, specific to each of the sensory categories. Toward the end, all sensory details are brought together in a colorful conglomeration. Practice is provided at the end for students to try their own sensory detail injections!

This is the skeletal structure for 5-paragraph essay expository informational writing. Lead, topic, thesis, support, and details are all included. I use this with the following color coding in writing: lead (blue), topic/thesis (green), transitions and subsequent paragraph topics (green), support (yellow), details to reinforce support (red).

This dynamic PowerPoint presentation shows very clearly how to subtract two- and three-digit numbers. By using customized animations to show the breaking down of tens or hundreds into smaller parts, students will learn quickly as the visuals aid their understanding of large digit subtraction! 14 slides included.

This PowerPoint presentation does a straightforward job presenting the concept of generalizing, serving as a springboard for discussion. It features 6 slides total with animations and interaction opportunities for students. It allows students the opportunity to make generalizations about groups of members, but also contains a warning about reversing the process and trying to apply a generalization to specific members (a.k.a. "stereotyping")!

This Powerpoint helps present the three addition properties along with the vocabulary used in addition sentences: addend, sum, associative property, distributive property, commutative property, and identity property. Consisting of animations and bright graphics, it will hopefully assist you as much as it did me!

Learn, step-by-step, how to add two- and three-digit numbers! These great animations allow students to clearly see how the tens split from the ones' place as they follow along on whiteboards, etc. 13 slides total including title page and pointers/tips. Watch the numbers slide across the screen as they are deposited in the appropriate place values!

This is an all-encompassing, fantastic 32-slide presentation addresses simple, perfect, progressive/continuous, infinitive, and perfect-continuous verb tenses using singular and plural verbs as well as regular and irregular verb examples for each tense described.

This organizer (one blank page; one color-coded) allows students to construct well-organized arguments. Includes spaces for lead, topic, 3-point argument, transitions, pros, defenses, cons, and rebuttals (pros, cons, defenses, and rebuttals would be placed in "evidence" and "explanation" categories on organizer). Not all spaces must be used, but it provides a logical presentation for a 5-paragraph argument essay!

This is a great, 1-sided page outline (which students can learn to reproduce with tri-folded scrap paper) which structures a 5-paragraph expository informational essay. Lead, topic, thesis, support, and details are all included. I use this with the following color coding in writing: lead (blue), topic/thesis (green), transitions and subsequent paragraph topics (green), support (yellow), details to reinforce support (red).

This clear and concise 9-slide presentation addresses perfect verb tenses (had, have/has, will have) with regular and irregular verb examples along with showing plural and singular verb forms in each of the tenses.

A 3-D organizer which can be used for paragraph construction, main idea studies, writing outlines, etc. Write the main idea (a sentence using the topic) in the middle. Then use the outer "legs" for details to support the main idea. When cut out around outside edges only and folded at the creases, you have a "stool" which only stands if supported by ALL legs. Our claims and main ideas also only stand in communication if supported by facts, details, and reasons.
