Makingtime teacher

I began making my own Google Slides Bell Ringers that are relevant for my middle school and high school ELA classes. The ones I have purchased were great, but the links broke, and the prompts were outdated. Last month, I realized I have a great collection of interesting video prompts, dilemmas, and quotes. The prompts also include in-depth instructions with up-to-date, standards-based questioning. I am a regular classroom teacher and not a professional curriculum creator, but Ilove challenging

Students are drawn to the kind-hearted, intelligent and humble George and root for him throughout the story. I have lost coun

My students come to my reading class ( currently 9th and 10th grades) without the needed skills to succeed. Because of this, I reteach the skills on these slides, and my students build a physical copy to use daily. I call them their "Cheat Sheets." I am very proud to put my work on TPT so other teachers do not have to spend the hours and hours over the last how many years it took me to put all this material together.This 54-slide presentation looks just like an open-face composition notebook.

Color coded compilation of 125 Common Core type assessment questions organized to easily create tests. Organized with the highlighting of 12 different category words. Within each sentence, key words such as objective and poem are underlined. Who, what, select, and how type words are in bold. I compiled and organized these questions so that I would stop using the same type of questions over and over again when creating assessments. I can now pick questions that are higher order and are similar
