This product includes a one-page directions sheet for the teacher, as well as directions to be printed and handed to each of the following: prosecution, defe

“The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe: Setting and Tone

Created by

Rockermom's World of Literature

This is a nice “take a break from non-stop writing” sort of lesson plan, and it appeals to those future Van Gogh’s and Picassos in your classroom, as well. Using Poe’s delightfully melancholy and bizarre poem, “The Raven,” students discuss first how setting creates tone which then creates mood for the reader. It is a literary domino effect, so to speak! Reading with purpose, underline examples of descriptive words describing setting and creating tone and then students are assigned a creative

Spanish Reader's Theater: Los Tres Cerditos (The Three Little Pigs)

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 Three Little Pigs is easy to follow with its repetitive phrases and familiar storyline. This reader's theater is an excellent way for students who are l
