Description
NOTE: To help teachers get digital versions of these activities faster, I have made this collection available in TPT Digital Activities. Text boxes added to worksheets.
OVERVIEW:
This product is available as part of a bundle for Collection 3 as well as individually sold here.
These interactive notebook activities are a fun way to help your students understand cause and effect via the informational text “Mammoth Shakes and Monster Waves….” Additionally, there are three writing opportunities to cite text evidence and use new vocabulary. Filled with cute illustrations and step-by-step directions, these activities are specifically designed to enhance the Non-fiction selection by Brenda Z. Guiberson, “Mammoth Shakes and Monster Waves, Destruction in 12 Countries” from HMH Collections Grade 6.
Common core-based lesson plans, rubrics and keys are all included as well as easy to cut pieces that save time. Every teacher has their own preference for notebook types. So, I have decided to design as a full 8 ½”X 11” inch page, which can be reduced on a copier by 75% to fit composition notebooks but would require trimming. I usually print off two pages per sheet on the copier and then cut in half, so I only have 1 cut and it fits perfectly into the composition book.
These activities were created to be printed in black and white, so the illustrations are not full color. If you would like a digital version of this resource, click here:
THESE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:
Quote Collection Opener and Writing:
Students can reflect in writing on the quote given at the beginning of the collection.
Vocabulary Activities:
There are many activities for the collection (academic vocabulary) as well as for the specific selection.
Cause and Effect Notes and Activities:
For guided notetaking and support as well as encouraging independent writing, these activities help students to understand the cause and effect in the context of a non-fiction article about earthquakes and tsunamis.
Writing to Explain:
Graphic Organizers help students to learn how to include text evidence and thoroughly explain their answers to text-dependent questions.
Rubric
Standards-based rubric included for the writing assignment, which allows students to understand what they have accomplished or need to revise to improve their writing. I usually allow students to revise if they receive a 2 or lower (for me a 2 is a C) for a higher score (or grade).
This product was developed by an award-winning, highly qualified teacher and 21-year veteran of the classroom, with ESL and ESE certification. I use these materials with my students in my classroom, so I know what students respond to and I try to make materials in which ALL students can be successful.
ORGANIZATION OF INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK MATERIALS:
In this resource, you will find a variety of Interactive Notebook activities that will support your students’ understanding of the HMH Collections textbook.
Lessons Pages are the TEACHER input pages that are designed to be used as the right-hand side pages of the notebook. However, you can use them anyway you want. These lessons coincide with the lessons in the textbook that appear after every selection, however, they are recreated as an engaging guided notetaking activity with fun illustrations. Keys are provided for these resources, unless students are supposed to come up with the ideas as a class.
Activity Pages are the STUDENT output pages that are designed to be used on the left-hand side pages of the notebook. These often include writing, drawing, graphic organizers, etc. Rubrics for all writing assignments are included.
