Print, Cut, and Staple Up. One of my favorite bulletin boards! I want my students to be as curious as Albert Einstein, as innovative as Steve Jobs, as wholehearted as Mother Teresa, as articulate as Martin Luther King Jr., as clever as Benjamin Franklin, as imaginative as Walt Disney, as brave as Rosa Parks, as engaged as Abraham Lincoln, as determined as Michael Jordan, and as kind as Mister Rogers. I recently made a new bulletin board that includes more great quotes and more diverse role mod

These are the 5 rubrics I developed for a public speaking course. Students read a segment from a famous speech, tell a personal story, teach an informative lesson, present an argumentative topic, and deliver a monologue. (You may also want my free peer evaluation forms as well.)

As students deliver speeches these are the peer review forms I have their classmates fill out. Each student gives both positive feedback and a suggestion for improvement along with a comment in a specific area such as: volume/tone, body movement, introduction/conclusion, "filler words" (like umm, ahh, etc.), speech content, and eye contact. After I read them I cut each student's name off the top and then give the feedback to the speaker.

Need some inspirational quotes and photos for your classroom? Here are some of my favorites all ready for your bulletin board or wall.

Students can use this blank storyboard template to plan out video projects.

These posters will inspire students to be creative and think outside of the box. They include influential people from a wide variety of professions and accomplishments. Encourage your students to be innovative and most importantly, to be themselves. There is also a video version of these posters on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY_t6nF9kCE

Students use these shortcuts when editing videos using Final Cut Pro. I tape this reminder sheet to all student computers as a reference guide. These shortcuts will also work in iMovie.

Each slide includes a literary term, the definition, and a photo reference. (Targets British Literature)

Students can design their own snowperson using this blank template!
