Simile and Metaphor Worksheet Practice
This worksheet provides 10 metaphors/similes that allow students to practice their learning. Pictures of example next to each. They must identify if the sentence uses a simile or metaphor and then explain what that use of figurative language is trying to communicate. There are also 4 "Write Your Own" prompts at the end of the worksheet. This has always been a big hit with my students and can work for grades 4-8.

Test Taking Strategies / Follow Directions Prank/Fake Quiz
This quiz is a fun and funny way to get students to realize they need to pay attention to directions.
There is a list of numerous steps to complete, which can actually be fun for students. HOWEVER, the first step says to "read all directions before continuing" and the last step says "only do..." so most students mess this up and do all the steps as they go along. Then you can give them the lesson at the end :)

Student Interest Inventory / Survey
I designed this survey to give to my middle school students during the first week of school as a "get to know you" activity or for one of their first homework assignments, primarily so that I could learn about my students on an individual basis. I always encourage the students to be honest, because I am the only person that will read their responses and knowing their personal interests will help me make lessons in class more fun for them! I usually collect the inventory sheet and keep it in eac
