This is a venn diagram graphic organizer, with lines for students to write neatly to record their thoughts and ideas. Please feel free to edit and use with your students.

Self-Evaluation Reflection Forms for Students, Editable, FREE

Created by

Julie Faulkner

Reflection is one of the most powerful research-based strategies for use in the classroom. How many times have you poured over student essays only to hand them back and watch as students take one look at the letter grade and never look back? Or maybe you offer a revision policy but never get the results you want? This is the perfect tool for students to use to actually go back and revisit and reflect on their writing after they have received feedback and a score. It doesn't do for them to just

Research Paper Student Notes Template

I created this for my 9th grade students who were struggling with taking notes for a research project.

The top of each box has room for the student to list the title, author(s), and where they found the source so they can easily find it again when its time to make their reference page. You can easily add more information if

Spanish Reader's Theater--La Gallinita Roja (The Little Red Hen)

Created by

Senora Dominguez

Reader's Theater is a great tool for building fluency in reading. As a bilingual educator I have found that Spanish reader's theater is a valuable tool to get Spanish language learners to practice their oral development. Although I have used these scripts in my First grade classroom, they would also work well for secondary Spanish classes. The Little Red Hen is easy to follow with its repetitive phrases and familiar storyline. This reader's theater is an excellent way for students who are lear

Fahrenheit 451 Part One Reading Quiz ("The Hearth and the Salamander")

I searched high and low for a basic, close reading test that would simply show me whether students did their outside-of-class reading of FAHRENHEIT 451, and I found that none existed that met my needs (detailed + easy to grade). I was not striving for higher order thinking...just a basic, Accelerated-Reader-type quiz that would demonstrate completion of the assigned reading. The higher order thinking questions come out after my students have completed the reading--through Socratic Seminar. Thu
