PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

One entire month of planning done for you – I dare you to enjoy Shakespeare.

I love teaching Shakespeare’s plays and I want you to love it too. I’ve been teaching and improving this unit for over 10 years. I have literally done all the thinking for you.

This unit has everything a teacher needs to teach Hamlet. I’m aware that not everyone is comfortable with Shakespeare. Because of this, I have created this unit from my years of experience teaching the play so all of the thinking has been done for you. Just photocopy and teach. Seriously it’s that easy.
There’s no longer a need for hours of research and piecing together bits of information and activities found to teach the play.
This is a whole, complete unit, from scene summaries, important notes and annotations notes to help students understand what they are reading. I have also included an introduction to the play, a student guide, a teacher guide, quizzes, a creative assignment, and tests (all with answers and evaluation grids), and a comprehensive answer key. Everything has its place and teaches a specific skill.

The unit is appropriate for students in grades 10, 11 and 12.

The unit includes :

– An attractive, interactive, multimedia PowerPoint presentation introducing the play (17 slides)

-A Student Study Guide (with activities, act and scene questions…) and various activities (14 pages)

-A Teacher Guide (with detailed, comprehensive lessons, unit plan, and additional notes to guide students.) -9 pages and 16 complete lessons. The teacher Guide also includes links to the audiobook (the exact time to cue the audio) AND it includes a list of speaking roles if reading out loud in class)to help with time management and organisation.

-18 pages of comprehensive scene summaries and important notes for each scene (annotations for each scene) ***THIS IS A TEACHER FAVORITE!

-A creative “Guess Who?” game to help students understand the characters. (What’s fun about this game is that it can be played from the beginning of the play right to the end, and students’ answers will change depending on the act they are reading.) LOTS OF FUN!

-A comprehensive answer key for all questions and activities. (24 pages)

-Comprehension quiz on Acts 1 and 2 in Word format for easy modifications (with evaluation grid) and answer key.

-Mid-play evaluation – The Parody – creative writing and analysis (in Word format for easy modifications – with evaluation grid)

-Summary guide (highlighting the significant events from each scene with important analytical information) – Throughout my years of teaching this play, I have amounted excellent notes and annotations, listing the most significant actions throughout each scene. I have retyped these annotations to help you teach the play so your students will understand it (and so will you). (18 pages)

-The culminating evaluation includes three different versions of the final unit test with evaluation grid and answer key (in Word for easy modifications)

Includes a total of 109 pages.

It’s teaching made easy!

$Diffy - Fun Subtraction Math Game$

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.

They will learn many basic art skills, have a chance to add creative details of their own, and of course have fun! This project can be used in the art room, classroom, or as a home school activity. These links will explain the LanguageART approach in detail, and show you a reduced price bundle of Clifford products.

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.

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

Includes:
• 6 Task Cards (8 questions each) + Answer Keys (Both black and white and colored backgrounds included)
• Recording sheet to show completion of each card

Topics include:

• Fact and Opinion (Read both statements. Decide which is the opinion and which is the fact.)

Suggested uses:

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.

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

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

6th – 12th Grade

Although all Middle School and High School programs of study require core whole-class nonfiction readings, as often as possible, students should choose nonfiction informational reading that hooks their personal interest.

The kids will be more inclined to want to read a topic of their choice (ownership) which will lead to the desire to express their thoughts and interpretations clearly and coherently. Their reading and writing proficiencies will blossom and solidify. This is a win-win teaching/learning idea for teachers and students.

This FREE 8-page product offers:
1. Almost 2-pages of Teacher Notes and teaching suggestions.
2. A Student Directions page that lists Types of Articles as well as Types of Newspapers, Magazines, Online article sources and Texts.
3. A detailed analysis worksheet for note-taking
4. A Ten Sentence format page so students can write a summary of the article using information from their notes, and
5. A format for students to expand their writing proficiency by turning a summary into a full-length essay.

This FREE Common Core and Bloom’s Taxonomy aligned activity should be used with any core nonfiction reading as well as for raising reading comprehension thinking and writing skills proficiencies.

For a product that coordinates well with this one, here is a packet that focuses on the parts of essay writing, so when it is time for students to write an expository piece they are prepared to create a focused and supported composition. Download it from
Writing: Write Right! Analytic Writing Made Easy

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “30 Research Topics”

10th – 12th Grade

A list of 30 different topics students may do their research paper on. Some of the topics are very controversial (gun control, abortion, immigration, etc), but since this is a RESEARCH paper, students enjoy the controversial topics because it allows them to tell their point of view and back it up with evidence!

Other topics are generic and fun colleges, decades, health impairments, etc and are great for lower-level students or students that do not want to write on something that may be too controversial for them.

Using this list, students must pick a topic and formulate a question they will answer in their research paper. My students loved it because it gave them freedom to write about something they were passionate about or interested in.

Learning about plants is so much fun when learning with QR Codes! There are so many interesting facts to learn and cute songs about plants!

This is an awesome activity that can be easily adapted to children of various ages and needs. It is also good for differentiation instruction. It’s a great way to incorporate technology into the classroom.

*****This is a great product to try If your school/district blocks or filters certain internet sites.
If these QR codes work, then all of our products should work without any problems. The videos are from YouTube, but we have funneled them through the safeshare site so that students only see the video from the QR code. Safeshare keeps the videos clean from commercials, popups, and won’t allow students to surf the internet. When the QR code is scanned, students then hit play.

————————————————————————————-

Check out our QR Codes (made in safe share) to explore the world of penguins! Just SCANthe QR Codes on the task card using any device with camera capabilities (such as a Smart Phone, iPad, iPod, etc.) and watch your students immediately become actively engaged while exploring and learning interesting facts about plants via songs and stories.
————————————————————————————-
Directions for Use: Our products are made into two formats. We have a task card that QR Codes can be scanned using rear facing camera devices and we have QR Codes made into individual cards that can be cut apart to use with front facing camera devices. The individuals can be backed with construction paper or pretty scrapbook paper to fit the theme; these can also be placed around the room. Print, laminate or place in plastic sleeves for notebooks. You can also hook your device up to your smartboard for the whole class to view.

After viewing the QR codes (made in safe share), the students can be directed to the choice board activities and word bank to enrich their common core learning experience. These activities can then be easily used as formative assessment tools to help you make effective teaching decisions!

Parts of Speech Grammar Circles (Superhero Themed)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Superhero themed Parts of speech Grammar Circle Unit

One of the biggest challenges I had in my English classes was how to fit grammar in with everything else I had to teach. I would give students grammar pages and then we would correct them together. It was tedious and it took forever! What’s more is that students were not learning the way I wanted them to. They wouldn’t apply what they had learned from the grammar pages and activities.

I found a solution!

Grammar Circles. Grammar Circles are very similar to literature circles in the sense that students are teaching one another grammar. It is a fun and functional way to teach and Learn grammar. Although, this may be done individually, it can also be completed as a group where students, through a specific process outlined in the package, teach one another grammar. They also correct the work together, so the teacher has very little to do other than to facilitate and supervise.

Once these circles have been implimented and students know who their group members are and what they are supposed to do, it is a great prep to leave a supply teacher.

The package includes:

1) A Student Packet – which contains the Literature Circle directions, the notes and activities, and a “Mark Calculation” page to keep track of their marks. (27 pages)

Activities included focus on:

-nouns
-adjectives
-verbs
-adverbs
-prepositions
-conjunctions
-putting in all together
-correct use of pronouns
-who and whom
-that and which
-who’s and whose
-that and who
-pronoun case
-pronoun agreement
-active and passive voice
-verb tenses (present, past, future)
-verb uses (consistency in verb tenses)

2) A teacher Guide with easy to follow instructions on how to organize the Grammar Circles.

3) The Answer Key – devised to allow students to correct their own work and learn from one another.

Also included are free Superhero Themed Parts of Speech Posters to decorate your class.

For those who are from Ontario, Canada – this unit adheres to the Grade 9 English Curriculum (academic). The unit can be taught in any grade to learn parts of speech.

(51 pages total for this unit)
