2nd – 4th Grade

This is a sample freebie extracted from my full packet of Science Passages. The packet provides cursive handwriting practice together with reading comprehension in a contextualized and meaningful way. Instead of practicing writing letters and words in isolation, this packet helps students review science concepts while improving their handwriting skills.

The topic in this sample is The Skeletal System ( 2 pages).

In theFULL SET
the science topics covered are:
-Matter
-States of Matter
-The Water Cycle
-Living and Non-Living Things
-Force and Motion
-Simple Machines
-Wild and Domestic Animals
-The Skeletal System
-The Solar System
-Ecosystems
-Plants
-Food and Nutrition

Each topic is two pages. Students read and trace the informational passage first and are then required to complete sentences, do matching exercises, label pictures, draw, etc. using words presented in the passages.

Once students learn what they are expected to do, this pack can make a great center.

FREE MATH LESSON – “Color by Number Multiplication Pirates”

by Talented in Third

2nd – 5th Grade

Do your students need a fun way to practice their multiplication facts? There are FIVE different color by multiplication pictures each, ready for your kids to color as they solve each multiplication equation.

Pirate Multiplication Puzzles

The five pictures vary in difficulty, ranging from a small anchor that only requires two multiplication equation solutions to an almost full page scene with a pirate ship that requires over 50 solutions.

*****************************************************************************

You can use these as assessments, in centers, as independent work, etc. Simply print the pages out and distribute to students as desired. This allows for differentiation as you can choose the easier pictures for struggling students and the more challenging pictures for students who need more of a challenge. For your students needing additional practice, start at the anchor picture, then the flag, followed by the treasure chest. If your students are already proficient with their multiplication facts/equations, start them at the scene with the parrot or the scene with the pirate ship!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Check out my preview for a look at several of the pictures!

Product Description

NEW LOOK – This resource now has a new format. Please note that MOST evaluations are still available in Word format for easy modifications.

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 ten years. All of the thinking has been done for you. I love annotating my plays and books. I’ve taken all of the annotations made in my play over the years and incorporated them in a guide to help you guide students and help students understand. Many people (including teachers) get overwhelmed with Shakespeare because of the language. This unit has been created with the student in mind. The activities are thorough, but simple enough for students to understand and enjoy the play.

This unit has everything a teacher needs to teach Hamlet. 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 activity sheets you don’t know what to do with.

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 with detailed lesson plans, 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 (16 pages)

-Study Questions are available in two different formats – Print saver (with all questions on one page – students write their answers on a separate sheet) and Long Form (Where space is provided for students to write their answers directly on the question sheet)

-A Teacher Guide (with detailed, comprehensive lessons, unit plan, and additional notes to guide students.) -9 pages and 17 complete lessons. The teacher Guide includes journal and discussion prompts and list of speaking roles if reading out loud in class)to help with time management and organization.

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

–A creative Hamlet 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.

-Option 1: Mid-play evaluation – The Parody – creative writing and analysis (in Word format for easy modifications – with evaluation grid)

-Option 2: Mid-play evaluation – The Parody – a creative group presentation (Only available in PDF format)

-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 115 pages.

We all know that the thesis statement is the most important part of the essay. This is also the part of the essay with which students have the most difficulty.

When you are able to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a work, you are able to write better yourself.

In this bundle, I’ve included an interactive PowerPoint presentation that includes the following:

-The definition of a thesis statement

-How to write a thesis statement (and the steps to take leading up to the thesis)

-5 examples of thesis statements, where students must identify both the weaknesses and the strengths

-10 slides explaining the strengths in the examples and the weaknesses in the examples

-1 example of a well-written thesis statement, and an explanation about why it’s good.

To accompany the PowerPoint presentation, I’ve included a student activity sheet with a list of all of the examples written in the PPT. (PDF format)

Also included is a lesson plan with details regarding the PowerPoint and activity sheet.

As a bonus, I’ve also included 2 posters listing the 7 essential steps to writing a great thesis. I’ve included an image format and a PDF format for easy printing.

-the first poster measures 70 cm (27.6 inches)

-the second poster, which students can actually read from far away, measures 97 cm (38.2 inches)

This is the behavior chart I used to go along with my superhero themed classroom. I printed each page on colored card stock, laminated it together, and used magnets for student numbers.

One thing to note is that if you do choose to use it on a specifically sized bulletin or magnet board, you may have to cut the bottoms of some pages to make it fit.

This is a fairly simple game for students to practice their place value skills to the hundreds. Two students play against each other. Each student picks 3 number cards from a pile and tries to make the biggest number they can. The player with the biggest number gets a star. The winner is the player with the most stars. I’ve also included a recording sheet for students to practice writing standard form, word form, and expanded form.

6th – 12th Grade

Reading programs are most successful when students have a chance to share the books they love with each other. Nothing fuels reading like the recommendation of a great book from a friend.

Use this quick and easy “Book Selfie” set to set up a spot for your students to snap photos of themselves with their favorite books.

Then create a “Recommended Reading” display with posters you make on Canva using their photos (directions included!). Use the included heading letters for an easy and beautiful bulletin board, and watch as the books your students love most fly off your shelves.

This is a brand new product for me, so if you and your students enjoy it, please consider leaving a review.

This activity is also part of my full independent reading program, a solid, year-long solution to the “I hate reading” problem. I think you’re going to love it!

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.
