This bundle featuring six of our best-selling language arts resources is the perfect teacher's survival kit that can be adapted for any short story or novel throughout the school year!

The variety of lesson plans, activities, and assessments in this bundle will spruce up your ELA curriculum and encourages learning in thoughtful, creative ways. Due to the diversity of resources, your students will be hitting several Common Core reading, writing, and speaking/listening standards with each activity. Your students will thank you for offering such engaging ways to learn!

Products included in this bundle:

⭐Characters in the Hot Seat

This product features all the materials you need to conduct a thoughtful and engaging "HOT SEAT" for almost any class novel! The hot seat is set up essentially like a talk show, however in order to allow for full class participation, there are multiple interviewers and multiple character guests. Through role play, this lesson tests your students' understanding of the novel and allows them to showcase their knowledge of the characters and the relationships between them. Your students will be having so much fun that they will not even realize the high-order thinking skills they are applying! This activity can easily modified for almost any novel as well as for the number of students in your classroom.

⭐Novel Playlist Assignment

This product features a creative and contemporary assignment in which students create their own music playlist for a novel by analyzing the lyrics of their favorite songs and synthesizing them with literary elements of their chosen book. This is a great activity that encourages students to think beyond the traditional 5 paragraph essay and consider literary elements in a deeper and more creative way. Your students will thank you for giving them a chance to have fun as they apply higher-order thinking skills!

⭐Socratic Seminar Lesson Plan and Materials

Socratic Seminars (or "Fish Bowl" Conversations as I like to call them with my students) are fantastic, higher order ways of assessing whether your students are able to understand and react to what they are learning in class. These seminars rely on the power of inquiry and allow students to take the lead in their learning and discussion. The only problem? They require a great deal of preparation. Fortunately, I did the work for you! This packet includes everything you need to conduct a structured and formal set of Socratic Seminars in your classroom and can be adapted for absolutely any topic. All you need are the questions to form the basis of these discussions!

⭐Literature Circle Task Cards

This set of 32 unique task cards contain engaging thought-provoking questions meant to prompt lively discussion for literature circles or books clubs in your middle or high school ELA classroom. Questions are mainly reader-response and are fully aligned to the Common Core. They can be used at any point during the reading of a novel or short story and are great as both full-class lesson plans or for time-fillers at the end of class. I also like to use these cards as bell-ringer activities to check in on my students' thoughts and understanding of the novel as we go. These are the perfect task cards to add to your teacher's toolbox and use all year long!

⭐Figurative Language Challenge

I created this "Figurative Language Challenge" activity and lesson plan several years ago for my middle school students as they were studying Edgar Allan Poe's figurative language-laden works. Little did I know that it would become the most requested game among my students of all time. This resource includes a meticulously-detailed lesson plan using warm-up, explanation, application, and synthesis, and a one-of-a-kind game that will get your students excited about identifying figurative language. This is the perfect lesson plan for a Friday or any time you need to amp up the energy in your classroom without sacrificing learning... and of course, it is Common Core aligned!

⭐ Differentiated Essay Prompts for ANY Novel!

This product features 20 beautifully-made task cards with generic essay prompts that will work for any novel. These prompts are differentiated so that they appeal to all learners and give all students a chance to shine in their essay writing! After years of tweaking my essay prompts, I have created questions that are thoughtful and concise so that in turn, they reap excellent student responses.

Purchasing these resources as a bundle saves 20% off the cover price!
