Parts of Speech Grammar Circles (Superhero Themed)
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 implemented 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 it 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 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.

Description
The end of a school year or semester is always a challenge for English Language Arts teachers. Between the marking, end of the year activities, and packing up your class for the following year, creating individual and meaningful comments on students’ report cards can be challenging.
I say, take back your weekends! I am sharing my mid and end of year ELA report card comments with you. There are over 70 comments for you to use and personalize your ELA report cards.
There are comments on:
❒ supporting an opinion
❒ argument development
❒ speeches
❒ theme development
❒ theme development while using historical context for analysis purposes
❒ supporting arguments in essay form
❒ reading strategies
❒ reading comprehension
❒ group work and literature circles
❒ novel study
There are also a slew of next step comments as well.
Each section is divided by levels 1,2, 3, and 4 where you can select the appropriate comment to accompany the mark the student received.

FREE SCIENCE LESSON – “Plant Cell and Animal Menu Board”
by Texas Science Gal
7th – 10th Grade
In this download you will find a menu similar to what you would find in a restaurant including items such as an appetizer, an entree, side dishes, and deserts. The way this is used, instead of food there are a variety of assignments that students can complete to show their mastery of their understanding of Plant Cells and Animal Cells. Some of the assignments include describing living things, describing the differences between cells, drawing and labeling cells, and creating flash cards.
So to use this, you will need to print out the pages included and students will need to have index cards to use for one of the assignments. The first assignment represents the appetizer (something that people share) because everyone completes it, it. Next the students can pick their entree (similar to ordering one meal), and they can pick just one of those listed assignments. Then with the entree comes two sides which students can then also pick which two of the three. For early finishers there is a desert that is entirely optional (great for extra credit!).
The reason why I made this was because I want students to feel like they have a choice in their assignments. I teach 7th grade and often times they just want the option of getting to choose their assignment. It is a great assignment for homework, amazing for centers (by having some students work on the entree or side dishes), and can also be used as class work.
I am in the process of updating my other menu boards as well to reflect this new and updated look and style, so be sure if you are in my store and want to see others, to click on menu/choice boards on the left hand side to see more.
Also, If you are not receiving updates from my store be sure to click on the green star when you are at my store. This will allow you to follow me and receive emails when I have a sale or post new products.

A Peek Into Learning
By Kathie Yonemura of Tried and True Teaching Tools
For all the grumbling about distance learning (and there is a lot of grumbling!), there are also some perks! I have a love-hate relationship with classroom bulletin boards.

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern
For my teacher friends who are torn about going back to school physically, or teaching using a hybrid model, these times are challenging. If you are someone who HAS to go into your classroom, you are literally risking your life and possibly those around you. You probably stay up many nights tossing and turning over what you should do. While those of you who teach through distance learning have to acquire new skills, and let’s face it, not all of us are tech savvy. It’s hard enough doing what you all love to do but Covid19 is making it difficult if not impossible for you. So how do you function when feeling emotionally drained and stressed out. In some of my other posts, I’ve mentioned Qigong as a way to relieve stress, there are also homeopathic remedies that may help.

Using Glyphs to Gather Information, Interpret Data and Follow Directions By Vicky Rauch of Scipi
A glyph is a non-standard way of graphing information to tell a story. It is a flexible data representation tool that uses symbols to represent different data. Glyphs are an innovative instrument that shows several pieces of data at once and necessitates a legend or a key to understand the glyph. They require problem solving, communication, and data organization.

Some of the reminders included:
❒ parts of speech
❒ transitional words
❒ quotation marks (how and when to use them)

❒ with introductory elements
❒ with other elements (dates, parenthetical expression, nouns in a direct address)
❒ with adjectives
❒ with appositives
It also contains tips on things to avoid, such as writing a paragraph shorter than 4 sentences. And, it contains a list of things to do, such as make sure that your paragraphs contain at least 2 pieces of evidence.

Sentences – Grammar Circles for easy and effective grammar
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.
