Symbolism Worksheet
My students were really struggling with the concept of Symbolism in large texts. I designed a worksheet and a unit specifically at helping them understand symbols and abstract vs. concrete language. This worksheet comes with 6 short paragraphs with a common symbol. Students use this worksheet to help sharpen their understanding. This is only a beginning step in the scaffolding process to understanding symbolism. I teach 10th grade, but many of my students are low level. I could see this being us

Tone and Mood in Music - Differentiated Group Activity
This is a wonderful lesson to do with students in smaller groups! I love this activity because you can put students in homogenous groups according to their close-reading abilities. There are three songs students can analyze: Taylor Swift "Red" for more advanced students; Miley Cyrus "Party in the U.S.A." for students below or at grade level; Black Eyed Peas "Where is the Love" for students who need an additional challenge. It's a wonderful activity because students are able to view the videos an

Notice and Note: Aha Moments - "The Scribe" by Kristen Hunter
"The Scribe" by Kristen Hunter is a wonderful fiction piece to read with students when one is introducing the "Aha Moment" to students. Although there are other "Notice and Note" signposts one may focus on with this short story, the "aha moments" help lend themselves to the reader's workshop model and in turn, could lead students to identifying conflict, theme, etc. in their own independent reading novels. Even if just teaching this short story in a closed setting, it is an excellent way to focu

PARCC Narrative Writing Task Teacher Model for Middle School
UPDATED with the revisions!!!
This essay aligns with the PRACTICE PARCC Narrative PBA for 7th grade.
To teach this lesson, we first read "The Fast and the Furriest" passage from the 7th grade PARCC practice test. Then, we brainstormed what we knew about the characters' likes and dislikes.
I split the students into teams, and they had to develop a plot lie to finish the story, remaining true to the characters' personalities and motivations. Then, each group had to "pitch" their plot to the c

Quiz - Identifying Literary Devices/Figurative Language in Poetry
This quiz asks students to identify the literary devices being used in different lines of poetry. One question is completed by the teacher to serve as an example. Furthermore, there's one additional question (eleven total), so that students can miss one question and still score a 100. This eleventh question is considered a "freebie." I do not allow students to score over 100, though, if they answer every question correctly.
Part I of the quiz forces students to underline the literary devic
