Are you tired of your students not knowing the parts of speech? Do they look puzzled when you ask them to find the adjective in a sentence? Do they think a car is a verb? Then your students need a review! And what better way to do it through comics? Your students will love reviewing the parts of speech with these entertaining comics. They are perfect for students who need a quick refresher, or for those who are encountering the parts of speech for the first time. THIS SET INCLUDES: One to three-page comics that cover nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions. Perfect for handouts and learning stations. There are both black and white and color versions. Parts of speech worksheets that reinforce the concepts of each part of speech. Answer key included. BONUS comics about conjunctions and pronouns with exercises. Answer key included. A BONUS comic on interjections (no exercises) Each comic is presented in an editable PowerPoint so you can add your own notes and examples to tailor it to your students’ needs. Part of Speech Posters you can display in your room. A cover if you'd like to print the comics and make a book. HOW YOU CAN USE THESE COMICS: Have students add them to their writer’s notebooks Use them in learning stations Provide them as a reference for writing conferences Pass them out at the beginning of the year for review Use them to introduce the parts of speech to students who are learning them for the first time WHY COMICS? 90% of information processed by the brain is visual. Comics dramatically increase the retention of material. They also aid in the understanding of difficult material. They serve the needs of visual learners and provide new opportunities for those with learning differences while benefiting all learners. They are fun! WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING: “This is great! The cartoons really give both visual and textual evidence of each of the parts of speech. There is also a quick definition of each embedded in each comic. Very good work. Thanks so much.” “I'm only halfway through the packet, but my 6th graders are loving these! They were excited as soon as they saw the comics, and immediately asked if they could color them. A fun way to make parts of speech more exciting.” If you would like your students to create their own comics, check out myFREE Comic Strip Templates. ***************************************************************************************** Resources you may also like: Parts of Speech: Grammar Bundle Visual Guide To Essay Writing Bundle Editing Comics Bundle Middle School Language Arts Bundle Poetry Comics Bundle Romeo and Juliet: Comic Summaries and Activities Intro to Shakespeare Activity Bundle Connect with me!

Daily Paragraph Editing grade 8 provides 36 weeks of frequent, focused language practice to help your eighth graders learn the conventions of standard English grammar and usage. The concise daily activities are ideal “warm-up” exercises to begin your language arts block and are adaptable for small-group and whole-class instruction. How it works: students apply grade-level language skills to correct a paragraph on Monday through Thursday; when read together, the four paragraphs form a cohesive composition. A writing prompt on Friday relates to the week’s four-paragraph composition and gives students the chance to apply the targeted language conventions. Details:Pages: 176Published: 2013Grades: 8
I see 600 kids between the ages of 4-11 in 40 minute intervals. Although I consider myself a competent classroom manager, there really is no way to go over every contingency in the classroom. At the beginning of the year, we talk about problems and discuss which ones students can take care of themselves and which ones require adult intervention. I'm working on creating an editable version for personalization but the font situation is the issue. Purchasing this file allows for use in one classroom. Posters are formatted to be printed at 11 x 14.

Besides academics, I strive to bring kindness into the classroom. We can raise the world’s smartest children, but ultimately I want to ensure that each and every one of my students is a KIND individual. School is not simply looking at the academic component, but the social and emotional learning as well. The best advice […]

Hello Everyone!! Happy New year to all of you! The end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016 have been very emotional for me. We started off our winter break visiting my son, Jordan in Indiana. He has made his way into the hearts of the people of southwest Indiana with his amazing storytelling and reporting for the local news station. And...He just bought his first house. We are so excited for him! We loved spending time with him over Christmas. --- On our drive back home, we kept getting texts, phone calls, and e-mails from friends about the 12 tornadoes that ravaged their way through the towns around our home in Texas. Oh my goodness---our emotions went from bliss to absolute heartbreak. So many of our friends lost everything, including a couple of teachers from our district. One of the elementary schools was hit and is now deemed unsafe. And sadly, 11 people lost their lives. The past few days have been filled with helping school and church groups gather needed supplies for those affected by this disaster. Texans do tend to jump in and help whenever needed!! The cleanup and rebuild will take years, but the support will be there. If you would like to help those in need during this time, here's a link to the red cross donation sight. Thank you in advance for sharing your blessings! http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/2015/12/28/how-to-help-tornado-victims/77965462/ These events really put things into perspective for me. What is important? Where should we put our passion? So many of us are blessed beyond measure. We take for granted who and what we have in our lives. Herein lies the resolution. Giving. The more you give, the more you receive. Throughout the coming year, I will continue to share things on this blog for anyone who can use them to help teachers, parents, and kids get excited about learning. Teaching is sharing. Teaching is giving. I will give the best I have. It may not always be perfect, it may not always fit everyone's bill, but, if what I share can help even one person, It is worthwhile!! So, having said all that, I am sharing a new unit. This one is all about Opinion Writing. You all know how much I love Lucy Calkins. This unit is based on her "Writing Reviews" book for first graders. When we get back from winter break, our firsties will be learning all about opinions and how to share them through writing. This unit is a precursor to one we will do on writing book reviews and other type of persuasive writing. It includes everything you need to print and go! Here are a few pics. The unit is about 32 pages. If you think you might be able to use any of this, simply click HERE for the printable download. As always, thanks for taking time out to stop by and read this little blog. I appreciate you! My New Year's wish for you is that you are surrounded by love and joy, and that you are blessed to be a blessing to others. If you are heading back to school next week, have a wonderful reunion with your littles. Give them the best you have!! Joyfully! Nancy
