FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Printable Books for Beginning Readers Sample–3 Books”

by Teacher Tam

Pre-Kindergarten – 1st Grade

 

Printable Books for Beginning Readers Sample

 

This is a set of 3 sample books from 3 larger, 10-book sets of printable beginning reading books that cover: word families, CVC words, phonics, sight words, blends, digraphs, as well as short and long vowel sounds. The books are phonics-based and get progressively more difficult as your reader builds on skills covered in previous books.

Directions for Book Assembly:
Each book consists of twelve pages of print for the child, but only four pages to copy. In order to make the books, print pages 1 and 2 then print pages 3 and 4 on the back (1 and 3 are back-to-back and 2 and 4 are back-to-back). Cut each page through the middle horizontally. Order the pages, fold, and staple to make the books. A heavier weight of paper works well to print the books on, such as 28 lb. weight. It helps so that the pictures don’t show through the paper. They are also a lot more durable if the covers are laminated.

FREE SOCIAL STUDIES LESSON – “We the People Kid Created Class Book FREEBIE”

by Hilary Lewis-Rockin’ Teacher Materials

1st – 3rd Grade

 

We the People Kid Created Class Book

 

I use books and a video to introduce the Preamble to the Constitution to my students. This is a book that kids can work on together to create illustrations for your own class book. I sometimes create 2 class books so that everyone can make their own individual page. You can use the blank pages to have the kids draw pictures and/or write sentences that tell what America means to them.

You can use this in a variety of ways. The books I use are for younger children. However, there are many other books and videos available that could be used with older children.

I hope you this packet helps you teach your students about The Preamble to the Constitution of our United States of America.

Thanks!

FREE SCIENCE LESSON – “Earth & Space Science + Scientific Process Classroom Clash Game – like Jeopardy”

by The Science Vault

5th – 9th Grade

 

Earth & Space Science

 

This is a powerpoint game similar to Jeopardy (TM). The six topics covered are: Scientific Method, Scientific Measurement, SI Units, The Earth, Earth Processes, and Space. Each topic has six questions arranged like Jeopardy: generally, the more money the question is worth, the harder the question. Great as a review or a back-to-school launch in an Earth Science class to get an idea about what your students already know. Jeopardy games are a great way to do something fun and challenging – I like to use them as a formative assessment in the beginning of a unit (or, in this case, a course), as a review, or even the last 20 minutes of class on a Friday 🙂

TpT Language Arts Lesson – Writing For Real Purposes: Fun Summer Lists!

Have you noticed that in the last few weeks of the school year, it gets more challenging to motivate kids to write? Many seem to only have the energy and patience for tasks that have real purpose. And let’s face it, kids are far more motivated to do what we do or what they see others excited about.

 

 

 

The Writing For Real Purposes: Fun Summer Lists storybook provides a model of students discussing how various types of lists are useful to them, and the lists they have made. (If you purchased this pack last year, simply download the update that now includes the storybook!)

Summer is an ideal time for making plans and getting kids involved in making lists. Being mindful of meeting them where they are, it is important to communicate flexibility in terms of the expectations for how the lists are filled in. Because some children may be writing while others are copying or drawing, each printable has a lined and unlined version (except for the Friends contact lists which have ‘mostly girls’ / ‘mostly boys versions’).

Think of the possibilities of summer vacation….

FREE MATH LESSON – “Diffy – Fun Subtraction Math Game! Use with Integers, Fractions, Money”

by Rachel Lynette

2nd – 12th Grade

 

Diffy - Fun Subtraction Math Game

 

Diffy is a fun and intriguing math game that requires subtraction, logic, and pattern recognition to win. It can be played with whole numbers, negative numbers, fractions, and money. This game is challenging for both kids and adults!

You can play Diffy using the document camera with the whole class, or have students complete their own Diffy games either in worksheet format or at a center with laminated wipe-off sheets.

This download includes:
-Teacher intro and game sample
-Color Diffy game with directions
-Black and white diffy game with directions

These cards will look best in color, but will also print out fine in grayscale. Simply print and cut along the guidelines. Laminate and use them again and again. Alternatively, you could print on cardstock. It works well to keep them in a baggie. Another option is to hole-punch a corner of each card and put them all on a ring.

FREE MISC. LESSON – “Free Download – Thick and Thin Questions Encourage Higher Order Thinking”

by Tech Teacher Pto3

1st – 12th Grade

 

Thick and Thin Questions

 

Free Download – Thick and Thin Questions

Used many times in the classroom, thick and thin questions are a great way to encourage students to pose interest, deeper questions and move their understanding towards higher order thinking.

I have printed, laminated and then placed magnets on the back so I can throw these questions quickly on to the whiteboard and test students understanding. They also double up as great printables for a classroom poster.

Please study the preview images or download the preview to make sure you understand what you are downloading. This product is designed for Year 1 to Year 6 students. Please contact me if you have any questions prior to download. If you enjoyed this free download please leave a four star rating.

Rhythm in Poetry

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Rhythm-in-Poetry-1177410

 

Rhythm in Poetry

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This lesson includes Emily Dickenson’s “If I Could Not Stop for Death” as well as Pearl Jam’s “Last Kiss” lyrics to discover (hands on) the importance of rhythm in poetry. Often, Language Arts teachers are weaker in this area because it is a little more technical than merely looking at the language.

The lesson includes:
– a detailed lesson plan for the teacher
– student notes (the poems) and activities
– an annotated copy of the poems as well as a comprehensive answer key

The entire unit contains 6 pages and it will most likely take two periods to complete.

I hope you enjoy it!

This lesson is part of a more comprehensive bundle:

• Recording sheet to show completion of each card

Poetry Lesson on Sonnets (Shakespeare and Browning)

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Poetry-Lesson-on-Sonnets-Shakespeare-and-Browning-1219830

 

Poetry Lesson on Sonnets (Shakespeare and Browning)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Lesson on Sonnets

This mini bundle includes a sonnet from William Shakespeare (#130) and a sonnet from Elizabeth Browning (How do I Love Thee?). In this activity, students will compare the different tones and forms from both poems. One is beautiful and romanticizes love, and the other sees love realistically (and a little meanly if you ask me). Students will identify the different types of sonnets, the figurative language found within their lines, and will have the opportunity to write their own.

Students get to see another side of Shakespeare from his sonnet. Students always love his realistic, yet sarcastic portayal of love.

The mini bundle includes:
– a detailed lesson plan for the teacher
– student notes (the poems) and activity
– an annotated copy of the poems as well as a comprehensive answer key.

The entire unit contains 4 pages.

Evaluating a Fishbowl Activity in a Literature Circle

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Evaluating-a-Fishbowl-Activity-in-a-Literature-Circle-694363

 

Evaluating a Fishbowl Activity in a Literature Circle

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Fishbowl activity is mostly useful during literature circles or in a novel study. Quite literally, the group in the center is being watched by the rest of the class, while they are discussing elements of fiction. This activity is a very important tool in order to teach students how group discussions should run, what is to be said, and how it is to be said. Many times the leader of the discussion doesn’t know how to prompt members to elaborate upon their contributions. This will certainly help.

In addition, it is often difficult for a teacher to evaluate these discussions, which is the reason I have created this package. It is easy to use and you can merely check boxes to quickly assess each member of the groups.

This package contains:
• An explanation of The Fishbowl Activity
• How to run a Fishbowl Activity (within the realm of a literature circle)
• Why such an activity is important
• Evaluation sheets one can use to easily evaluate the discussions and roles of students

It’s teaching made easy!
