Have your students show you a character's perspective by allowing them to look through the eye(s) of the character. With these eye templates, students can draw what they think the character sees or their viewpoint on a situation. The students can even do a reflective drawing that shows how a character's perspective has changed since the original drawing was done. This makes a very unique pair of eyes. I call this my "Here's Looking at You Kid!" activity. The kids love it!!!!
This is a worksheet that guides the students through their research of an author. This worksheet goes well with any book study.

This a video that can be used in a flipped classroom or as a stand alone lesson. This video takes students through the design of a graphic organizer for a five paragraph essay. The video is simple yet engaging. The students will be able to tackle any prompt without the stress of "OH MY GOODNESS! I CAN'T WRITE FIVE PARAGRAPHS!" This video teaches students how to pre-write one paragraph at a time. I have also included a copy of the graphic organizer with the video.

This is an origami style foldable that is easy to make and it can be used in any subject (Foreign Language to Math and everything in between). You can make it as big or as small as you want.

This foldable can be used to make great graphic organizers to review content and study for a test. 1

Because research tends to be difficult for young students, I created a research guide to help students figure out what information they will need to
