Book Report Ride
Book Reports can be kind of a drag. So, let’s make it into a ride. Using Minecraft or any other form of visual presentation – stop-motion, animation, live action video or graphic stills – take us on a roller coaster-like journey through three seminal scenes in your book. You pick the scenes, write the narration for this journey (only one voice), and bring us to a place where we won’t be able to resist reading the book ourselves.

Confusing Imperatives and an Idiom with Amelia Posters
When giving directions, we often use imperatives. The problem with some imperatives is that English language learners do not immediately understand them. It is the misunderstanding of imperatives, idioms, and other vocabulary that often lends humor to the Amelia Bedelia books. My English language learners, particularly my older students, enjoy reading these books. They are short and easy to read, and the pictures help them understand unfamiliar vocabulary. My ELLs also often identify with Amelia
