This product provides 5 different narrative prompts that respond to the text Boy by Roald Dahl. 3 of the prompts are about continuing a story, and 2 of them are about writing from Mrs. Pratchett's POV. You can assign a specific prompt or let the students choose! I have also included lined essay paper. This works great in addition to the Amplify ELA: Unit 6A for 6th graders!

I have my student glue this in their composition books and fill it out after each assessment. This allows student to keep track of scores and be accountable. I always give each student a goal score to beat depending on state testing from the previous year and if they beat it I give a small incentive. There are two different sizes in the pdf. One is for composition notebooks and the other is standard size.
Printable homework coupons/passes! They can be redeemed as a homework pass or as a homework redo! These are a great way to motivate students to complete homework, while also giving them the option to redo assignments for a better grade if they never miss a homework assignment! We split our year into 4 quarters, so I give my students 2-3 per quarter!
This pack is perfect to display for students having to write an essay or paragraph! It follows the PEEL writing technique.

You can use as coloured posters or black and white printable sheets for students to refer to!
This checklist is for revising an argumentative paragraph. This goes well with the Amplify Dahl Unit. I use it for lessons that require students to go back and check their writing, so they have specific things to look for.
