English Grammar Cheat Sheet

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This “Cheat Sheet” was designed to help students while writing in English. This at a glance 2 page sheet is colorful and has an easy to find layout to help students remember certain important things while they write.

I allow my students to use this in class when writing a test. This is not a grammar lesson, but it will remind students about the grammar they’ve learned in the past.

Some of the reminders included:

– parts of speech
– transitional words
– quotation marks (how and when to use them)
– basic sentence structure
– spelling tips (plurals of nouns and IE rule)
– puncutaion rules (apostrophe, colon, semicolon

The other side of the page has comma rules:
– with coordinate conjunctions
-with introductory elements
– with other elements (dates, parenthetical expression, nouns in a direct address)
– with adjectives
-with apositives

It also contains tips on things to avoid, such as writing a paragraph shorter than 4 sentences. And, it contains a list of things to do, such as make sure that your paragraphs contain at least 2 pieces of evidence.

Comprehension Questions and Answers for Lord of the Flies

Comprehension /Questions for Lord of the Flies

These comprehension questions for students were devised to help them focus on the most important parts of the novel.

In this document, there are questions for every chapter, but I’ve only included the most important ones to help students with character, symbol, and theme development. There are 50 questions in total.

Included is:

– Student question sheets (3 pages)
– Teacher’s answer sheets (9 pages)

See preview for more details.

no-bullies-allowed-playlets

 

I am excited to offer a product that is near and dear to my heart.
These playlets are based on true stories about kids who have affected the lives of many children and adults alike.Use a real-life situation playlet to interact with your class on some important topics!

Each playlet can be presented in a matter of minutes; its purpose is to promote discussion about relevant issues in a fun way! Playlets can be done in class, on morning announcements, at parent and community functions.

In a Playlet, 4-5 students act out a short script. When the narrator says “FREEZE!” the characters become immovable while the students discuss what’s happening. Then the actors continue until the word “FREEZE!” occurs again. Discussion question posters are included.

The teacher is the director and guides discussion during EACH FREEZE. IF discussion gets lengthy, a fun thing to say to your actors is “UNFREEZE! AT EASE!” Then they can join in the discussion too!

You will see students with a strong understanding of bullying and disabilities awareness. Listen to their new conversations.

Paragraph Writing Activity in conjunction with Frankenstein

Paragraph Writing Activity in conjunction with Frankenstein

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Paragraph Writing Activity in conjunction with Frankenstein

Very often, students have difficulty with the analysis process involved in literature. Where they not only have to analyse, but now have to apply their newfound skills to a well-developed paragraph, some students become overwhelmed with the process.

This particular activity will focus on both the analysis and writing a paragraph using the PEEL method.

Paragraph writing and analysis are two essential components in essay writing. To facilitate this process, I have created a lesson where students can become more comfortable with the revision process through modelling the proper steps from beginning to end. The lesson includes a modelling of the writing process from understanding the topic to the final draft. See preview for details

This lesson can only be used after students have read chapter 19 from the novel Frankenstein.

Happy December!

In my LAST POST, I mentioned a giveaway on a post from my own blog for a ten dollar Teachers Pay Teachers gift card.  “Tori” is the winner of the giveaway.  She has an extra ten dollars of spending money or she can give the code to another teacher as a gift.

I am happy to announce that I am running ANOTHER GIVEAWAY for the same prize!  This contest has a very easy requirement and you don’t need to follow anyone to enter!  The giveaway ends on December 15th and the winner will be announced that same evening.  This way, the lucky winner will have the code to use while we’re still within the Christmas season!  Of course, he/she can keep the gift card for later use because Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards NEVER EXPIRE!  Click on the word CONTEST to enter the giveaway.

That’s all for now!
