Spring and Summer Activities, Grammar Fails in the Real World⁠
...⁠
This set of real-world grammar mistakes is an excellent engaging activity for bell ringers, grammar practice, review, or just for fun during the spring and summer months! I've collected mistaken-ridden posters, tweets, signs, song lyrics, etc. to keep things interesting - and to provide plenty of examples! They will come in very hand at the end of the year!⁠
...⁠
Allow students to take ownership of their learning and make connections to the world around them. Students love to spot errors in the unlikeliest places, and an activity like this gets them thinking, collaborating, and editing!⁠
...⁠
Plenty of ideas for using these amazing - and shocking images - are provided! The options are endless with this simple file! All subjects could get involved in the editing fun.⁠

Included: 40 images of real-world mistakes in three easy-to-use formats so you can print them or use them virtually in Google, Nearpod, Kahoot, Classflow, and more! Answer key included!

5 WAYS TO USE CLASS TIME AFTER THE YEARBOOK IS COMPLETE⁠
...⁠
The yearbook is complete, submitted, done. Now what? You have several months of school left, and you aren’t sure how to keep your students on task for the remaining days. Does this sound familiar? With spring delivery or even summer delivery books where students take yearbook/journalism as a class, it’s often difficult — and even daunting — to come up with creative and constructive ways to use that time. As we all know, doing nothing is not an option! In this blog post, I’ll share 5 ways to use class time after the yearbook is complete.

The denim jacket was a good idea when it was 40 degrees this morning, but now that it’s 80+ not so much. Has the weather warmed up where you are?

BENEFITS OF PAIRED TEXTS FOR TEACHING READING -- One reason I love using paired texts when teaching is it adds a layer of rigor that is often present on standardized tests. Click over to the link in bio to see my post with more reasons and ideas.

My poetry single mini lessons challenge students to close read, annotate, analyze, and respond personally and creatively to poetry. Each poem is introduced with a poet's mini bio. Then the directions for guided annotations allow students to unpack the poem with accuracy. For a more in-depth response, the poems are followed by a set of critical thinking and application level questions. Last, students have the opportunity to make text-to-self connections with the included project prompt.⁠
..⁠
Each lesson takes about 30-40 minutes to conduct. PDF format and compatible with TpT's Easel tool for converting them to digital. *Some files have been pre-converted to digital for Google, and a link is provided in those files. Please see the individual previews for more information.⁠
