FILE ORGANIZATION

There are multiple versions of files so you can easily manipulate and assign work to students. Sort files by file name to best organize the files since I cannot sort the files into subfolders for you (I am restricted in creating subfolders for you).

GOOGLE CLASSROOMS

The bell ringer, INB activity, quiz, reflection, homework and reading passage are designed to be assigned to students with Google Classroom. Students complete the assignments directly in the files, permitting paper-free and electronic distribution and collection of assignments.

PDF FILES and Answer Keys

I have included PDF files - with and without answer keys - of the bell ringer, INB lesson materials, homework and reading passage with comprehension questions. Use these files when you wish to print documents for your students.

The printable INB Lesson consists of an overview with a photo of the completed INB activity, one page of input notes (differentiated when necessary), at least one INB activity (key included), a 4-5 question mini assessment (key included) and a two-part reflection exercise. The printable INB lesson may or may not work in a 100% paper free, one-to-one classroom. However, it is included within this download so to provide an opportunity for tangible learning.
