Students are asked to cross out words with specific affixes, and to find synonyms and antonyms. They are also asked to cross out nouns, adjectives, etc.

Compare and Contrast Text with Graphic Organizer
When I couldn't find a short text to use that would allow my students plenty of practice with the compare and contrast text structure, I wrote my own! This one page article compares eagles and owls and comes with a three column graphic organizer that the students can complete. I have provided 2 versions of the graphic organizer. One version is blank, and the other has some parts filled in. I would use the second version with my lower students who might require a little more scaffolding.

Please leave feedback on the games. They are time consuming to create and I will create more if people are interested. I would love to know if there is a way that I can improve on the games as well.

Awards & shining teacher moments
I was selected Teacher of the Year for my building the first year I taught. It really was unexpected and an honor! This past year, my 8th graders selected me as Teacher of the Quarter for our middle school! Awards are never my intention, but it really is nice to be recognized for your hard work, especially by your students!
I am very proud to say that my husband has done very well on the Ohio Achievement Assessments. He was able to achieve a 100% passage rate on both the reading and math assessments for three years in row!
My own education history
My husband and I both attended Bowling Green State University for undergrad, but we didn't meet until we began our Masters degree program in Reading!
