This worksheet requires students to write quotation marks in correct places, as well as fill in the blanks with the correct end punctuation. The possibilities for end punctuation is given in the directions. There are 10 questions, but each question has one or more quotation marks and end punctuation missing. I have used this worksheet in my class and it has proved good for practice, warm-up, and quick (pop quiz) assessment. ADDITION AS OF APRIL 2022: I have included a key. Traditionally, I have

This is a great way to start a unit on Ancient Egypt. The webquest begins with a KWL ("L" portion to be completed after finishing the webquest), which also allows students to stay on topic as computers boot up.

If the homework, with pass attached, is handed in within 2 days of the due date, the student receives full credit. I have also included 1/2 credit with parent signature for up to a week. I have used this in my classroom to cut down on the number of late homework assignments and seen success! Since this a word document, you can edit as you see fit!

I use SSR as a way to decompress after Friday quizzes. I also assign 60 minutes of reading at home over the weekend using a book the student has chosen (reading level appropriate, of course).

There are also two poem analysis questions at the end. Also included: "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" poem. I have used this handout for years and it has proved successful as

A simple exit ticket that asks students to rate their understanding of the day's lesson and say one thing they don't understand or one question they have. This is a good way to get feedback, as well as have students reflect on their own understanding of concepts. It's also good for a class that is "shy" or does not raise their hands easily. Exit tickets work best when they are done fairly regularly as they become routine. Exit Ticket by Hshahteaches is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribut
