FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Post-Pandemic Vision Boards”

This entry was posted in 10th Grade 11th Grade 12th Grade 6th Grade 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade LANGUAGE ARTS LESSONS on October 27, 2021 by Patrice Manchola (updated on October 27, 2021)

6th – 12th Grade

Vision boards can help students think about the future in a positive way, reflecting and setting goals as they consider who they want to be and how to get there.

In this reflective project, students consider the possibility of this pandemic as a pivot point in their lives from which they can take what they’ve learned about themselves and their dreams during this time at home and move forward courageously.

You can either send out the student instructions by PDF and let students craft vision boards off screen at home, or use the Google Drive version with editable elements and let students choose to work on or offline. In Drive, they can create their vision boards by typing and dragging and dropping their imagery. Either option can lead to inspiring and beautiful vision boards.

Questions? I’m at betsy@nowsparkcreativity.com.

From the Reviews:

“Students loved having a different approach to journaling. They seem to be gaining an understanding they are a primary resource for this time in history. “
“I needed something creative and fun to do with my students and this was perfect! Thank you for sharing!”

Enjoying the vision board project? Please consider leaving a review!

Rachel’s Monster

By Gini Musmanno of Reading Spotlight

The first time I saw Rachel she was standing in the hall near her first-grade classroom door. Her eyes met mine, but she then turned her face to the wall. I did not know at that time she would become one of my first primary grade remedial reading students, nor did I know that she was repeating first grade–this is a story about Rachel’s monster.

“BOO” to Fractions? Recognizing Equivalent Fractions

By Vicky Rauch of Scipi

Math requires constant practice – something most of my students dread doing. I can find many “drill and kill” activities, but they tend to do just that, drill those who don’t need it and kill those who already know how to do it. So to drill and “thrill”, I created fractional word puzzles. The one for October is Halloween Fraction Riddles.

Cursive vs. Keyboard – an interesting debate

However, hidden beneath the mandated revisions is a new discussion that centers around cursive writing vs. keyboard entry for student assignments.

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 flipbook 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.

Sentences – Grammar Circles for easy and effective grammar

This entry was posted in 10th Grade 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade FREE LESSONS & PRICED LESSONS - The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs HOME LANGUAGE ARTS LESSONS MISC. LESSONS and tagged activities English Language Arts grammar No Prep Printables worksheets on October 7, 2021 by teachingmadeeasy123 (updated on October 7, 2021)

Description

Teach grammar in a creative and meaningful way. No more boring grammar.

Simplify your life and make grammar fun and effective.

One of the biggest challenges I had in my English classes was how to fit in grammar 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.

The package includes:

1) A Student Packet – which contains the Literature Circle directions, the notes, directions, and activities, and a “Mark Calculation” page to keep track of their marks. (16 pages)

Activities included focus on:

❒ the logistics of the sentence (the basic parts)

❒ the prepositional phrase

❒ the adjective phrase

❒ the adverb phrase

❒ the verbal phrase

❒ the appositive phrase

❒ the independent and subordinate clauses

❒ subjects and predicates

❒ fragments

❒ run-on sentences

❒ types of sentences

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 work and learn from one another.

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 about sentences.

7th – 9th Grade

This resource is for 8th grade students who are studying about irrational numbers, or it can be used with grades 7-9 as an extra material for math oriented / talented students.

Crossword asks about concepts that are related to rational and irrational numbers and number sets in general. That can be easily used as part of courses 8.NS.A.1 or 8.NS.A.2 with all students.

There is also something about history of irrational numbers and a proof that square root of 2 is irrational. The proof goes beyond standard curriculum for 8th graders, but can be introduced as extra information.

Behavior Problems Got You Down?

By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern

Behavior Problems Got You Down? Have you been struggling with Johnny or Sally since the first day of school? Do you rack your brain trying to come up with some creative ways to turn their unacceptable behavior around? Let’s face it, some kids will always get under your skin, but you’re the teacher, you’re tough and you can deal with it.

Back to Basics: 3 Tried & True Place Value Games

By Kathie Yonemura of Tried and True Teaching Tools

And we’re back! We just finished our fifth week of school(!) and it looks different. It feels different. But it is SO good to be back in person, masks and all. It’s a tricky balance of remembering “how I used to teach in person” and “what worked during distance learning” and “how do I keep the curriculum rigorous, while planning for some students to inevitably be quarantined at some point and not miss instruction”. Luckily, here are some tried & true math lessons and activities that work well for the beginning of the year.

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Group-and-Skit-Evaluation-Rubric-699937

Description

Group work is always tricky to evaluate because there is so much going on. In addition, as educators, we are required to give detailed feedback on students’ performances.

I created this FREE document to make the teacher’s job easier, and to allow students to be responsible for their success as well.

Self-evaluation grids are a great way to guide students in their evaluations. Students will know exactly what is expected of them and will be made responsible for their success. This package can also easily be changed to be used as peer evaluations.

This self-evaluation grid will help students as well as teachers to assess students’ group work. When students use this grid to assess their work, there are no surprises when they receive their final mark. This grid, in particular, allows the students to become organized and responsible for their individual parts.

These self-evaluation grids are also very helpful to teachers:

❒ Helps the teacher justify the final mark;

❒ Helps to identify students’ weaknesses and strengths;

❒ Helps parents and students better understand the task required;

❒ Helps teachers create rubrics for the final evaluation.

Because of formatting issues, this package was created in a PDF document, but I can easily email you a Word file to be easily modified and changed according to the individual teacher’s needs.
