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

Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt
I love William Shakespeare. I love the language, the time-period he lived in, and the timeless themes that his plays have. I tend to teach a lot of Shakespeare. I like to do the Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt in my school’s library but you can do it in the computer lab as well. It’s just a basic series of questions about Shakespeare and his time-period. I like to have my students go to the library because it gives them a chance to move around. Doing a scavenger hunt like this is also more fun than j

The Game of Fears - A Halloween Vocabulary Lesson focusing on Phobias
The Game of Fears is a fun vocabulary exercise that I created in conjunction with Halloween. I use it with my ESL students, but it could also be used for middle or high school English students. It is essentially a vocabulary scavenger hunt where the student finds the meanings of phobias and then tries to find people who have these phobias. They are all real phobias, but can be serious, fear of bacteria, to odd, the fear of belly buttons.
This activity is presented as a Word document, so you

Yearbook Staff Application - Middle School (EDITABLE)
This yearbook staff application addresses what REALLY matters when looking for a quality yearbook staff. I use this application for new staff members each year, and use a shortened version for returning staff. Any staff member who is promoted to a lead position for the next year is exempt from the application process. It is important to have your regular staff go through this process, so that you can release any students that aren't a good fit for yearbook.

Poetry Stations: Four Group Assignments for Poetry Fun
This file includes four "Poetry Stations" I created to help students find fun in studying poetry. So often I have encountered the "I HATE poetry" response to the mere mention of the word, that I decided to create this activity as a break from the "norm" of studying poetry. The activities allow students to work in groups, share poetry/song lyrics they enjoy, and even create some of their own poems. Use it as an activator, a fun activity to liven things up a bit, or something to "fill" a class per

Camera Angles Reference Sheet
For students studying film, documentaries, current affairs or anything visual, this sheet acts a reference guide for the different camera angles.
The sheet focuses on offering students a concrete definition and an understanding why these would be used; their intended effect on the audience.
A great reference sheet for students, otherwise would work well as a puzzle or for a filling in a fishbone.
