Michelle's Materials

This is a short "quiz" style context clues practice. I've created seven questions based off seven sentences from "Landlady" by Dahl and the students would choose which multiple choice response is the meaning of the unknown word.

This is a handout that students will document 6 day's worth of exit tickets. I used to have my students keep this in their interactive notebooks and it made life very easy as their tickets weren't lost and could be checked over once a week.

I keep this sheet in my "make-up work" binder in the front of the classroom. I update this daily and so students can look inside and independently read and catch-up on the missing work.

This text set relates to the Hunger Games so it is highly engaging. The article's author is given credit on the page and the song that is paired together with the popular song, "Hanging Tree." I created the corresponding questions to each song. The skill focus is on inferences but also delves into figurative language, tone, viewpoint, etc. I taught this as a isolated skill reading, but I think it would be great with a novel study.
