I designed this resource as a compliment to my McGuffey's Readers Copywork but they would work with any reader a student is working through. Reading and Copywork are the core of our homeschool's early Language Arts Program. When you feel your student is ready for more than oral recitation of grammar and reading comprehension answers this resource will fill out their lessons nicely. If reading McGuffey's Revised Readers I suggest starting these exercises sometime during the Second Reader. During the Primer and First Reader I recommend simply pointing out and discussing grammar and punctuation as they present in the reader and asking the student to point out concepts they have already covered with you. If this has been a consistent practice moving into this flashcard and exercise resource will be a gentle step forward. This resource includes: 28 Basic Grammar & Punctuation Flashcards Parts of Speech Trace and Fill Exercise General list of Grammar Exercises to perform during reading time A list of oral Reading Comprehension Questions to ask and discuss Punctuation and Sentence Type Exercise An Introduction to Sentences Notes page to aid in teaching Enjoy your teaching and learning time. It's precious.

Teaching summarizing? Try using story element examples. When kids learn to pick them out, writing a summary is easy.
Use Jessie J's popular song "Domino" to teach figurative language, sound devices, and other poetry terms. You can decide how many and which devices you'd like your students to find. It includes two activities for differentiation and is aligned to the Common Core Standards for grades 9-12. This IS included in my mega bundle: ALL of my POETRY RESOURCES GROWING BUNDLE. *PLEASE CHECK THE LYRICS BEFORE PURCHASE* The lyrics (both the content and language used) may not be appropriate for your students/school. Though I have used it successfully with my high schoolers, not every class is mature enough to handle them. Those I've pointed out in this exercise include: alliteration, anaphora, simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, onomatopoeia, rhyme, allusion, and assonance. A list of definitions for each term plus detailed directions, teacher's guide, and answer key are ALL included. A link to the song and the lyrics for an online experience is included, as well. Included in the zipped folder is a student handout and a separate teacher's guide. The PDF files can be projected to save paper. Created by Tracee Orman Mrs. Orman's Classroom
Bon lundi! Trop souvent dans ma vie j'ai entendu des gens dire "Moi j'aime pas ça la musique en français!" Que ce soit de la part des enseignants ou des élèves cette phrase relève plus de l'ignorance que d'une vraie opinion. À leur défense, s'ils n'aiment pas la musique en français c'est qu'ils n'en connaissent absolument rien! Je dis souvent à mes enfants "Goûtez-y avant de dire que vous n'aimez pas ça!" Or, pour "goûter" à la musique en français, il faut écouter plus que du Fernand Gignac ou du Nana Mouskouri! Si vous voulez vous amuser, demandez à quelqu'un qui dit qu'il n'aime pas la musique en français de vous nommer plus de 3 artistes francophones... Son visage perdu vous procurera plusieurs secondes de plaisir! Voici une affiche que j'ai créée qui vous propose plein d'artistes à découvrir avant de dire que vous n'aimez pas la musique en français. Merci à Anickbauerdesign pour le gabarit! Si vous voulez la version en haute résolution, écrivez-le dans les commentaires et je vous l'enverrai! Bonne journée et surtout, bonnes découvertes!
iPhones and Alliteration 13 comments Language, Popular Posts, Reading, Writing I have had iPhones on the brain for a while. And because I've had them on the brain, I decided to have a little fun with them in the classroom. So, why do I have iPhones on the brain? (Bear with me, this is leading up to the alliteration portion of this post). Let me show you: Clearly, it is time for a new phone. Sadly, the extremely pathetic state of my poor phone is nothing new, it's been this way since last May-a whole year prior to upgrade eligibility. I have been waiting and waiting to replace it. Thankfully it still works! So, in my ongoing obsession over my phone, I came up with the idea of using an iPhone to teach alliteration. Now, I realize that the phone does not necessarily lend itself to alliteration, but there is certainly some fun to be had with the whole concept of texting! So, that's what we did! We created some alliterative text messages! Here is one example. I like to use the book Superhero ABC to introduce the concept of alliteration. The kids are always instantly hooked and laugh at almost every single page. The illustrations are very superhero-y and the phrases the author uses to describe each hero not only demonstrate the use of alliteration, but are quite funny and silly. As I read the book, I stopped periodically to point out that I noticed that each page featured a phrase with several words that began with the same sound (or same letter). When I was finished reading the book, I explained that the author used alliteration to write each phrase and then explained that concept. Then, we worked together to write some alliterative sentences together on the board (oops, forgot to take a picture of that). Next, I told the students that they would be writing their own alliterative sentence, iPhone style. I showed them this iPhone template and explained that they would write their sentence as a text message. We used think/pair/share to brainstorm ideas before actually getting started. This is the rough draft text screen that they used. They wrote their sentence on the lines. At the end of the activity, they read their sentences to a few classmates. I collected their rough draft texts and checked them for spelling (I always edit their spelling for them when we hang work up on the board, of course, that doesn't always mean that they spell correctly on the final draft-hehe). Finally, the students rewrote their text message on this template. Then, they colored their message blue, just like on a real iPhone, and glued their "screen" to a "body." Before displaying all the iPhones on our bulletin board, I let each student read his/her sentence to the class. Fun was had by all! Some of their sentences turned out super silly. And, most of them wrote about a favorite book or TV character. You can grab all of the templates for this activity by clicking here. I hope you can use this idea in your classroom! P.S. In case you were wondering, I was able to get myself a new phone. Thank goodness for early upgrades! All is well with the universe now. DON'T FORGET IT: PIN IT! Toodles! Share It:

The Letter E in tie dye. Tie dye is a colorful pattern used on clothing. It is made by tying a piece of clothing into a tight bundle, and then dyeing it with various colors. This became very popular in the 1960s and '70s. Tie dye is an expression of emotion and is a very colourful and expressive type of art. About 100 languages use the same alphabet like in English which makes it one of the most widely used alphabets in the world. While some languages have a few more and others a few less, they all share the 23 core letters originally found in the Roman alphabet. The most commonly used letter is the letter E. The letter J was the most recent letter to be added to the alphabet, appearing in print as a distinct letter for the first time in 1633. A sentence which contains all 26 letters of the English alphabet is called a pangram. A famous pangram is: “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” but there are even shorter ones such as: “Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.” Every letter of the alphabet has a wild, or at least interesting, story, often going back thousands of years. You can look it up on Wikipedia. DIMENSIONS Canvas measures 10 x 10 inches, including margin.

Finally! The long-awaited sequel chapter to R.J. Palacio's Wonder! I feel like I pre-ordered this months ago, and now it's finally here! If you have read Wonder with your class, you MUST read the Julian Chapter (the only thing is, it only comes as a Kindle e-book, so you have to read it on one of those new-fangled thingies). Even though there are merely DAYS left to the school year, we forced ourselves to squeeze it in (twist our arms, why don't you). While this book is shorter than Wonder, with roughly 25 Wonder-style chapters), there was just so much to say about The Julian Chapter. You will be so happy you gave this character a second chance. This Common Core aligned close reading guide includes: * ideas for encouraging your readers to be close readers * questions to ask as you explore the novel * standards addressed * guided reading questions * chapter summaries * chapter-by-chapter vocabulary * vocabulary activities * pre-reading writing assignments * chapter-by-chapter questions (including main idea, vocabulary, details, inferences) * text analysis * character analysis * creative writing assignment * five-paragraph persuasive writing assignment ** During this time when we are out of school and engaging with our students online and in a distance learning capacity, you may distribute my products to you students using the internet (but not in a way so that they are available to EVERYONE on the internet) Ex: Google Classroom is fine!** Please feel free to email me with any questions or concerns...or just to tell me all about how much you loved reading The Julian Chapter ...

I always have such a hard time finding activities for the different sounds of c and g. There are activities listed in the teacher's edition of our phonics book of course, but they are so not fun! It's not enough for the students either. This year, with my new found knowledge of how to make my own printables, I made a Hard and Soft C Word Hunt & Activities packet as well as a few Hard and Soft G Printables. The Hard and Soft C packet includes word cards for a word hunt around the classroom, along with a recording sheet. The Hard and Soft G Printables contains a color code printable and a word sort. Both packets are free, so make sure to grab them! I hope you find them useful in your classroom.
