Included in These English Bell-Ringers (Vol 2):

➡️ Monday - Video Journal of the Week: Start your week off with dynamic slides that feature 45 video clips accompanied by related writing prompts. The videos are inspirational, thought-provoking, and creative. This resource provides a structured approach to incorporating video journaling once a week to last you the entire school year!

➡️ Tuesday - Vocabulary of the Week: Introduce new vocabulary words to your middle and high school students by having them guess the meanings of words in context! Each of the 45 bell-ringer slides provides the vocabulary word in a sentence and has students infer the meaning of the word using context clues. Also included are extra resources to take this to the next level. There is a poster and slideshow option with the vocabulary terms that include the part of speech, pronunciation, definition, and an example. There are also vocabulary quick reference lists, quizzes, and word cards.

➡️ Wednesday - What If? Discussion Prompt of the Week: Use the next day to engage your students in meaningful discussion! This resource includes 45 discussion prompts that include what if scenarios where students must consider how life would be different. You can discuss the prompt as a whole class, or break students into small groups to discuss and report their thoughts back to the whole group. This is an excellent tool to encourage friendly debate. Additional assignments are also included that students can use to take these prompts to the next level.

➡️ Thursday - Social Media Grammar of the Week: This daily task allows students to edit grammar, spelling, and punctuation in a fun and modern way! Students will have the chance to read social media posts to find grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors and correct them! Detailed answer keys are provided for easy classroom review. There are also additional resources like printable cards and a worksheet page option.

➡️ Friday - Figurative Language of the Week: End the week by having your students read a paragraph that contains figurative language and attempt to locate examples of metaphor, simile, oxymoron, personification, alliteration, or onomatopoeia. Each of the slides are also included in task card and booklet format to provide you with flexibility in using the resource.

➡️ Organized Weekly Student Handouts and Slides: Each of the 45 bell-ringer weeks includes a folder that contains a PowerPoint presentation with each of the weekly slides organized by day as well as an accompanying weekly student handout. Distribute the weekly bell-ringer handout on Monday, and students will use it to complete the bell ringers for that week!

➡️ General Response Pages (not Mon-Fri Option): Don't follow a Monday-Friday schedule? No problem! We have included general response pages for each of the days, so you can create your own bell-ringer binder and use the general slides that do not include a Monday-Friday header!

More Incredible Teacher Feedback On These English Bell-Ringers:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is an amazing product! I am moving from elementary to 7th grade, and this is absolutely perfect. I wanted something that was routine for my bellringer work, but beyond the routine, I wanted it to be interesting to them! WELL worth the price! Thank you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is my first year using bell ringers and I can say that I wasn't sure if high school students would respond well to them and I was wrong. They absolutely do amazing things with the bell ringers. This is very eye appealing and the students love them. I teach 2 sets of reading so I bought the first and second one. Please keep making such wonderful resources.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the best purchases I have made on tpt! Awesome, thank you!
