Thesis Writing Activity

This entry was posted in 10th Grade 11th Grade 12th Grade 9th Grade FREE LESSONS & PRICED LESSONS - The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs and tagged activities English Language Arts Graphic Organizers Lesson Plans (Individual) No Prep Writing Essays Writing-Expository on June 25, 2019 by teachingmadeeasy123 (updated on June 25, 2019)

Product Description

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.

Topic: Is knowledge good or destructive? The subject is interesting, and can be used along with many different types of literature, or on its own.

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)

4th – 8th Grade

This is a FREEBIE. It breaks down the different parts of the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution, so that they are easily remembered. It makes the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution even more personally relevant, because it asks for the students to either draw illustrations for each component, or to cut and paste visuals for each component of the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution.

This is a sample to a larger paid product that I have available in my store, about the U.S. Constitution. You can find that product here:

Pre-Kindergarten – 5th Grade

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.

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.

by Kathleen Applebee

4th – 12th Grade

Spread the Gospel through Trade is a cooperative game encouraging players to band together versus a common enemy – the devil. To win, players will need to share resources and make joint plans and decisions. SGT uses interpersonal skills like planning ahead, listening, sharing, negotiating, etc. that are needed for teamwork and collaboration with others in the real world. While sharing ideas and strategies, players are engaging higher level thinking even when it is not their turn.

SGT also gives practice in economic decision making, reading maps, charts and relating scripture to these. Play consists of players spreading the gospel to every region, financed through wise trading, in a limited number of turns while adverse circumstances and the devil try to thwart their efforts.

Product Description

Teach the art of poetry through song lyrics

I love teaching poetry! I love it when my student like learning it too.

So many students dislike poetry that I wanted to create a unit just for them. This unit takes a different approach to teaching poetry all while allowing students to be critical of the songs they hear on the radio. This unit teaches the same skills as traditional poetry units do, but does it more lightly.

Take a look at what is included in this bundle:

–An introductory video on how to approach poetry throughout the unit see video here Poetry Through Song Introduction Video

–A Figurative Language Bingo Game to make learning and reviewing figurative language more fun.

–The Teacher Guide includes 13 complete lessons focusing on and building on specific skills with each lesson

–The Student Guide includes the following:

-notes on how to approach poetry

-notes on poetic devices and figurative language

– A copy of the following songs: Malibu, Roar, Scars to your Beautiful, Golden Leaves, Sound of Silence, There were Roses, The Cave, Something Just Like This, and Lost Boy. A wide variety of songs are included.

-Activities accompany every song (Theme and meaning, historical and literary allusions, the meaning of pronouns, Thematic connection exercises, video comparison activity, fun with allusions, fun with metaphors, fun with idioms, and much more.) See the preview for more details.

–The Answer Key includes the answers to all questions and activities and comes with detailed annotations of each poem.

–A Culminating Task with rubric included (in Word format for easy modifications)

–140 pages included + 1 video

This is a great tool for getting spelling homework returned every week! Parents and students love the free choice it creates!

Students pick from a wide menu of items that are valued at different points, making sure to turn in enough points to satisfy the teacher requirement. Even on short weeks, just reduce the number of points required. Management tip: Run the menu off on card stock, laminate, hole punch, and place in a three-prong homework folder so you save paper on spelling homework all year long! Or print the different templates on different colors to keep it fresh and fun throughout the year (place in a sheet protector) in the 3 brads of a 2-pocket folder.

Please be reminded that the files you have are to be used by ONE classroom teacher per copyright law. I really thank you for respecting my time and work.

Spelling Flip Book

LESSONS and tagged EFL - ESL - ELD English Language Arts fun stuff Graphic Organizers interactive notebooks No Prep Spelling on June 13, 2019 by teachingmadeeasy123 (updated on June 13, 2019)

Product Description

The Spelling Flip Book is designed to help young learners become familiar with spelling rules and to incorporate them into their work.

Students can color and personalize their flip books to enhance the spelling learning experience.

I always like encouraging my students to use their flip books as reference sheets when they are working to promote good spelling habits. The goal is that eventually, by using the flip book when working, the student will begin to remember common errors made in the past and correct them. I have had much success with this strategy in my classes.

I’ve also included a color copy and an answer key – a total of 18 pages.

It’s teaching made easy!
