Romeo and Juliet Film Guiding Worksheet (Luhrmann)
This is a one-page guiding worksheet for students watching the Baz Luhrmann Romeo and Juliet film. An answer sheet is included. Please note--the formatting looks strange in the thumbnails, but the original file is ok!

Claim Evidence Reasoning Introduction - Scaffolded Worksheet
Claim Evidence Reasoning Introduction Worksheet Claim Evidence and Reasoning can be a very difficult concept for students to master. In the worksheet below, there are six situations: three that have a belief oriented claim (more of a debate or issue oriented claim) and a prediction (more of a scientific hypothesis oriented claim). The questions are scaffolded from easiest to most difficult, and there is progressively less hints and help with each one. I highly recommend that you use an entir

Notes for Nickelodeon movie "What Happened? The Story of September 11, 2001."
I have watched this Nickelodeon video, "What Happened? The Story of September 11, 2001" with Linda Ellerbee several times. The complete clip is about 22 minutes long. I think that it is one of the more appropriate videos of September 11, 2001, for younger students (I teach grades 3-5). I do feel it could be used in higher grades as well. I have used it as an event that my students write about for a comprehension focus group (CFG) on historical fiction; it is part of the writing phase for t

Perfect Paragraph Hamburger (Double Patty)
During my student teaching experience, the teacher I was interning with had a wonderful strategy to help her 9th grade Pre-AP students remember what went into a well-developed paragraph. She called it the perfect paragraph and used a hamburger as the visual.
When I finally had my own classroom, even though I was teaching 6th grade, I knew I wanted to implement this strategy. I developed a visual that embodied her idea, and my students reference this each time we approach a writing project. We u

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners.

Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
