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.
In addition, I’ve used the 1831 edition of the novel to create this unit.

-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.
-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.

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Thesis-Writing-Activity-2810083
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.

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.

The first person to collect all the forms of the verb wins! The vosotros form is included, but if that isn’t something you use with your students there is a second set without vosotros! There are also printable spoons or spoon game boards for Cucharas.
There are instructions and materials for ¡El Toro! and ¡Cucharas! (Spoons) for your students. After my students become familiar with both games I love providing both options and letting them choose which game they prefer to practice with.

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 my experience, students hate answering these questions because there are usually so many of them and many of them aren’t even that important. 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)

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.

Although I use this activity in my religion class (during my free will unit), it can also be used in conjunction with many other subjects.
When I have an extra 10 or 15 minutes, I show my students a “What Would You Do?” episode (found on Youtube).
To help with our class discussions, I ask students to complete the “What Would You Do?” question sheet, which uses the steps of moral decision making. All sorts of subjects can be discussed thanks to this activity.
I hope you enjoy it.

9th – 12th Grade
This writing project is creative way to teach research skills to your high school U.S. history students as well as increase their knowledge of the Spanish-American War.
I used this project as a way to encourage research skills, creativity, and teamwork among the students in my class. While geared towards 11th and 12th grade history classes, this project could easily be adapted for 9th and 10th grade levels. This could also be used in homeschool curriculum. A rubric is included.
