Biome Movie List: Notetaking and Guided lesson

This document could be shared on Google classroom or printed before you introduce in discuss biomes. Many of my students haven't traveled very many places outside of our state, so I use this to get students thinking about other places that they have seen. Many Disney, Pixar, and DreamWorks videos that students love are set in the biomes that we will be discussing. In the open space on the sheets, students can work alone or with partners to add as many movies as they can to generate a list. This

The Six Characteristics of Living Things (Notes, Content Review, or Test)

This is a worksheet that I use for guided notes to review 'living things' for my 4th-6th Grade students, and to discuss the characteristics of things like fungi and bacteria. The images help students to come up with ideas when stuck, but they also help the line allowing them to add a complete thought in a sentence. This is a good transition for students ready to move past just using a word bank or circling living things on a sheet. You could also use this as a test to check for understanding.

[Rubric Template] BIOME world, Research, and Presentation Grade sheet

This rubric template can be edited to go with my Biome World report, pamphlet, travel planning, or Diorama projects. I carry this on a clipboard when grading physical assignments or watching a final presentation so that all notes are in the same place. You can add, edit, or change things as needed each year.

Additional biographical information

Good teaching takes time and after years of creating lessons and finding what works in my room, I have units and lessons to share that my students find engaging. These babies are Google classroom and student ready. I love writing curriculum and finding ways to tie in multiple topics and standards. I also believe deeply that Teachers helping each other to cut down on prep time so that they can enjoy the time teaching and the time outside of school is of the utmost importance. Thank you for visiting my shop and for purchasing my work.
