Speeches: Persuasive Writing Mini Unit & Assignment

Created by

This unit has students learn the style, structure, and techniques used in making a persuasive speech. It works for any type of speech, but focusses on Graduation/Commencement addresses as they tend to have more interesting examples, and inherently involve students reflecting on themselves / their school experiences / their growth over the last few years. This makes this assignment fabulous for student writing and reflection too! Graduation speeches tend to swing eloquently between tones (funny a

Writing an Introduction Paragraph: Graphic Organizer

Created by

Kate H

Every time my students begin writing their essays, they always get stuck on their introduction paragraphs. They stare at their blinking cursors or unmoving pens and constantly tell me, "I don't know how to start!" It's easy to go over hook sentences, connecting sentences and writing a thesis. It's easy to give practice versions of these three introduction elements (and students seem to get it). But once they are confronted with their own paper, their minds go blank.

Fahrenheit 451 Quiz Part Two ("The Sieve and the Sand")

Created by

I searched high and low for a basic, close reading test that would simply show me whether students did their outside-of-class reading of FAHRENHEIT 451, and I found that none existed that met my needs (detailed + easy to grade). I was not striving for higher order thinking...just a basic, Accelerated-Reader-type quiz that would demonstrate completion of the assigned reading. The higher order thinking questions come out after my students have completed the reading--through Socratic Seminar. Thus,

Narrative Revising and Editing Checklist (Self and Peer)

Created by

Mrs Cameron

This checklist is used after students have written narrative stories. They will go through their stories with the checklist independently first. Then they will have a classmate use the same checklist to read their story. At the end, the peer can leave comments with advice and feedback. This has been helpful in building independence during writing, rather than having a line waiting for me to read their stories!

Reader's Theater is a great tool for building fluency in reading. As a bilingual educator I have found that Spanish reader's theater is a valuable tool to get Spanish language learners to practice their oral development. Although I have used these scripts in my First grade classroom, they would also work well for secondary Spanish classes. Little Red Riding Hood is easy to follow with its repetitive phrases and familiar storyline. This reader's theater is an excellent way for students who are
