Karen Brooks

This is an interesting and fun research project I do with my juniors during their American literature unit. It pulls together the history they are covering that year as well as the reserach paper. It combines many of the common core requirements including writing, summarizing, and public speaking.

Research Paper in an Alternate Media

Created by

Amanda Watson

This year we wrote our research papers in a different form. We made a "dossier." Using Microsoft Publisher or a similar software, we wrote the same paper but it looked different. I found that by allowing them the use of graphics, design, illustration and color, I had better papers and a higher number of students turned in the paper. The preview file is the assignment sheet and a sample. The product file is the template that I gave the students--no easy task to create, but it's done and made

Poetry Project Menu

Created by

Sixth Grade Social

This poetry project menu provides a variety of ways in which your students can show off their knowledge and understanding of poetry! The point values vary between appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Appetizers are the lower depths of knowledge, desserts are higher, and entrees are the highest and require the most work. I required various classes to earn different points (for example- advanced classes must do more). Some activities include researching the life of their favorite poetry, creating a

Talk Partners Display

Created by

Jason Williams

My school week usually begins with the children literally begging for one thing - A change in our Talk Partners. In my classroom, the children sit with a partner - like in many classes I'm sure. The difference is that we change our partners every week. This encourages the children to talk and work with other children they maybe haven't talked to a lot before. It was difficult to introduce as some kids had been sitting with their best friend so to speak all year in their previous class. The pe

WORD CHOICE: Are You Showing Not Telling

Created by

Stephen Slates

Are you frustrated with your student's lack of descriptive writing. This activity is a great introduction to the concept of showing not telling in writing. On each of the twelve pages, students have an opportunity to sketch a picture related to an emotion. At the bottom of each page, they should describe the emotion without using the actual word (e.g. my heart was racing, my jaw dropped, and etc.)

Students have the option to write the report, record audio, or record video. This is a sheet that details the directions for the project.

HomoPHONES!

Created by

Math Made Marvelous

Ever had a text conversation that just wasn't what you meant to say? Well that’s what happens with homophones! In this download, you will receive 18 different editable “homophones” for kids to identify and correct. I prefaced these phones with the book Dear Deer to introduce the homophones. We then went through each phone as a class for the kids to think about the different meanings. Each phone has a conversation in which a homophone is used incorrectly. The first text box is the incor

"To Build a Fire" by Jack London- "How To" Video Project

This video project corresponds to Jack London's short story "To Build a Fire." In this story, the protagonist believes he is an expert in wilderness exploration and able to successfully make his way through the treacherous Yukon in order to find gold. He ignores advice from more experienced explorers which ultimately ends in his death. Students will create an antithesis to this story by producing a video providing expert advice on a topic of their choosing. This packet includes: a description of

It is a Microsoft Publisher file so the parts that say my name and 2nd grade can easily be changed. If you have trouble, let me know and I'll customize and email you a copy. :)
