Today I came across an unexpected find. A local grocery store had ordered the wrong size of till tape, so they were throwing it away. I scored a box of 50 rolls! Immediately, I thought about using it for number lines, comic strips, and flip books. But, I have 50 rolls. What else shall I use it for? After a Pinterest search, I came up with these ideas: Breaking apart numbers. You could use the till tape for one portion, and construction paper for the other. This is a crafty one! It would look lovely on the front of a poetry book or Mother's Day card. Have you seen all those large quote of the day boards? This might be cute for a mini version! Art journals or bookmarks. This run on sentences activity looks like a ton of fun! Teaching space? The pin uses toilet paper, but receipt tape would be the same. Even the centers have a use! Great for a clay unit in the art room. I also found this blog post.... no pictures though. They suggest using it for timelines (duh!). I can't believe I didn't think about that. Adding to my explorers unit for sure! They also suggest making roads for cars - cute! Have another idea that isn't listed? Leave it in the comments. I'll be using this stuff for a while!

This packet of Play-Doh activities is meant for use in the junior high or high school classroom, and will employ kinesthetic activities while still checking for understanding and reinforcing the learning taking place in your classroom. I have found that students JUMP at the chance to use play-doh in the classroom. They love the “throwback” to their childhoods as well as getting to use their hands. Many of these activities were originally used in a Language Arts and/or World Studies (co-curricular English and World History) classroom, but can definitely be used in any subject classroom (I give ideas for different subject areas) with reading assignments, vocabulary needing to be learned, and reflection on topics that require student assessment. There are 15 ideas listed on 2 pages, with 9 other pages of handouts including: 1. Play-Doh Check for Understanding Handout 2. Play-Doh Vocabulary Matching Game Handout 3. Kinesthetic Brain Engagement Handout 4. Process or Timeline Play-Doh Handout 5. Gallery Walk Questions Handout 6. Teacher Bell Ringer You Create Handout 7. Living Comic Strip Handout 8. Show and Tell Handout **Feel free to check the preview for some of the ideas for FREE! Grab the entire bundle for all 15 ideas! :) ***Psssst! Wanna cheat? These ideas are ALL listed on my blog at www.carriewisehart.com/blog - but you can only get the handouts HERE. :)

Suzanne Collins biography, graphic novel style! Students should enjoy reading, right!? And there's a reason why young children love picture books: images are appealing. Do I prefer reading a graphic novel version of my favorite books? Not really. But, that doesn't mean none of my students do. In fact, I would say quite a few of them would prefer it. If I want my students to enjoy reading, I need to offer plenty of choices. The same with writing. Some kids are happy to write a classic book report. But some aren't. So why not give them choices? With the recent announcement on the Hunger Games Fireside Chat of Sara Gundell's comic-style biography of Suzanne Collins (author of The Hunger Games), (see picture) this reminds me that there are so many appealing ways to entice students to read rather than the traditionally printed book. I offer loads of choices in my high school classroom because we all have different tastes. I do love reading comics and have Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, Close to Home, and Frazz books for students to read. Of course I offer the classics along side them, but I would much rather have a student read something over nothing. We need to admit that it is OK to allow these choices in our classroom. Students DO learn from reading non-academia texts! Reading the Guiness Book of World Records is still helping my students' reading skills. How? Because they are reading! It doesn't matter what they are reading. The act alone and repetition of it makes them better readers. It is the same with writing. The more they write, the better writer they become. So why do we assign the boring 5-paragraph essay over and over again so they learn to hate writing? I don't know (well I do...because we are forced to). It's crazy. I would rather assign them more relevant and personally-connected pieces because 1. they will enjoy it, and 2. the chances of them copying & pasting text from the internet is less likely. Here's a free download for you: comic strip panels to use to assign a comic bio or book report. Download all of the pages here: I created them using Pasq.com's Comic Life program. You can head to my teacher store to find additional ideas for literature- and history-based learning. Sample pages:

So here's the thing: I am not a great artist. If you asked me to fill in these blank comic book pages with something awesome, you'd probably be pretty disappointed with the result. I would rather write you a story 100% of the time instead of draw it. But, I am in the minority here
