This slide deck is great to use with a middle or high school GSA. It could also be useful in a media course. The slides will guide the group through a series of discussion questions. In the middle of the discussion, students will watch a video that will spark further discussion for the following slides.

These cards can be printed and used as students assess sample essays/narratives or assess peer essays/narratives. The evaluation cards are meant to be used with the NJSLA writing tasks rubrics (Narrative, Argumentative, OR Informative) for grades 6-8. I created these to save paper and have students view the rubrics online. There are six assessment cards per page.

Use this checklist as students decode the NJSLA released rubrics and sample prompts for all three writing tasks: Informative/Explanatory, Narrative, and Argumentative. This can be used throughout the year, or as a review of key terms and elements used in each type of writing.

This resource is provided as a Google Doc so it can be assigned in Google Classroom, giving each student their own editable copy. The document serves as a digital game board featuring major characters from the novel. Just like in the classic game of Guess Who, students ask their partner Yes/No questions to identify the mystery character. It works well as a review activity near the end of the novel, or earlier on to help students keep track of the many characters.
