Brian's Hunt Novel Study - With Included Lesson Plans, Activities, and Slides
By A Teachers Sidekick
This is a novel study of Gary Paulsen's Brian's Hunt ( a sequel to Hatchet). In this product, there are completed lesson plans (and a blank one if you need to write your own), a slideshow that includes everything for each chapter (introduction, review of content, copy of the doodle notes, copy of the end of chapter activity/discussion outline, and the closure question), the Doodle Notes outline for each chapter, and the End of Chapter/Discussion activities. This novel study is for 4th-grade to 7th-grade students.
Completed Lesson Plans
Each chapter comes with a completed lesson plan! The lesson plans include an I can statement (Chapter Goal), the materials needed, what students will be doing as a preview to the chapter, what they will be doing during the read, the activity after the chapter, some differentiation ideas, the assessment, and a closure. There is a spot for standards, but I did not include one because of different state standards. They are also all editable! It was made using Google Slides, so if you open the file in Google Slides or PowerPoint you can edit each lesson plan to fit your class’s needs!
Doodle Notes and End of Chapter/Discussion Activities
Each chapter comes with doodle notes and an End of Chapter/Discussion Activity. Doodle notes are notes students take that involve more drawing than writing. Students will have a prompt to help them know what to focus on while listening/reading the chapter and what to take notes on. The activities focus on multiple different skills, Central Idea, Supporting Details, Problem/Solution, Cause/Effect, Summaries, Story Elements, Inferences, and more. There are also some discussion activities where students will need to work in groups discussing a prompt about the chapter.
Slideshow
To go along with the book, there is a Slideshow that includes an outline for each chapter! It includes what is written in the lesson plans. So there are introduction slides for each chapter, a copy of the doodle notes and chapter activities, and a slide for the closure. The slides are also editable! So if you would like to add/adapt anything to fit your class/lesson better, just open the file in Google Slides or PowerPoint.** ***There is a slide, that you will need to edit. It is the “Discussion Expectations” slide. This is because each class will have different expectations for discussions.****
****You need to read Hatchet, Brian's Winter, and The River before Brian's Return. For some of the activities, students will be comparing/contrast or recalling prior knowledge from the previous books. I also have a novel study to go along with Hatchet, Brian's Winter, The River, and Brian's Return!**
I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review it.

Benchmark 1st grade high-frequency words

These are the 124 high-frequency words for the Benchmark phonics curriculum for 1st grade! Each slide has the steps that the curriculum recommends- teacher reads, student reads, students spell and read, students write (and bonus- use it in a sentence)! I added in transitions to help you and the students see which step we are on and labels to tell you which unit and week the HF words are for.
Silabario con 320 sílabas y 5 anchor charts. Escucha, escribe y aprende.
By Ms Garcia Store
El más completo silabario que puedas encontrar, 320 sílabas, diseñado para trabajo en grupo o de forma individual:
126 sílabas directas
80 sílabas inversas
65 sílabas trabadas
41 diptongos e hiatos
8 triptongos
Este silabario interactivo es una presentación de PowerPoint muy intuitiva y facil de usar.
Cada sílaba se muestra sobre las líneas de escritura. A la izquierda se muestran las distintas categorías mencionadas anteriormente para un rápido acceso a cualquiera de elllas. De hacer click en el botón 'menú', accedes al silabario completo. A la derecha de cada sílaba siempre hay tres botones:
En cada uno de estos anchor charts se tiene la opción, no la obligación, de dar al botón de audio para escuchar la lección, muy útil en caso de estar el alumno trabajando por su cuenta.
Sobre la sílaba siempre aparecen los botones de acceso directo a las sílabas familiares a esa sílaba. Así, de estar viendo la sílaba 'me', tendremos los botones de acceso a las sílabas ma, me mi mo y mu, a las que podras acceder con un simple click. De pasar el ratón por encima, sin necesidad de pulsar, podrás oir cómo se dice cualquiera de ellas, o escuchar la secuencia de las cinco sílabas seguidas.
Este silabario interactivo para PowerPoint tiene una segunda versión disponible en el siguiente link: Silabario Interactivo PPTM. Esa otra versión te permite a parte mostrar sílabas en orden aleatorio de entre cualquiera de las categorías o de entre todas ellas. El formato de ese otro archivo es PowerPoint con Macros habilitados (PPTM). Son las Macros las que permiten mostrar las diapositivas de forma aleatoria, pero si no confías en ellas, te ruego que te conformes con esta primera versión del silabario, que está realmente bien .
La realización de este recurso ha sido dura, pero también ha sido gratificante ver el resultado de tan buena herramienta. Espero que la aprecien y que les ayude tanto con sus estudiantes como me está ayudando con los míos.
Gracias a los diseñadores gráficos utilizados en la creación de este recurso:

Today in History Daily Warm-Up - November
By José Guzmán
Today in History Daily Warm-Up Instructions:
Image Observation:
Display a historical image related to the day's date or a significant event in history.
Instruct students to carefully observe the details in the image without providing any background information.
Individual Inference:
Ask students to individually jot down their inferences about what they think might be happening in the image.
Encourage them to consider details such as clothing, setting, facial expressions, and any other relevant visual cues.
Partner Discussion:
Pair up students and have them share their individual inferences with their partners.
Prompt partners to discuss and compare their interpretations, encouraging them to consider different perspectives.
Collaborative Inference:
Bring the class back together and facilitate a collaborative discussion.
Select a few pairs to share their inferences with the entire class.
Encourage students to consider diverse interpretations and discuss any common themes or differences in their observations.
Historical Context:
After the collaborative discussion, provide some historical context or information about the image.
Discuss how the actual events align or differ from the students' inferences.
Benefits for Students:
Critical Thinking Skills:
Analyzing historical images promotes critical thinking as students must observe details, make connections, and draw conclusions.
Inference and Interpretation:
Making inferences based on visual cues enhances students' ability to interpret information and think beyond the surface.
Collaborative Learning:
Partner and class discussions foster collaborative learning, allowing students to share and refine their ideas through dialogue.
Engagement with History:
Connecting historical events to visual stimuli makes history more tangible and relatable for students, increasing their interest and engagement.
Communication Skills:
Sharing inferences with partners and the class improves communication skills and helps students articulate their thoughts effectively.
Diverse Perspectives:
Encouraging students to consider different interpretations promotes an appreciation for diverse perspectives and helps them understand that history can be viewed from various angles.
Contextual Learning:
Providing historical context after the activity solidifies students' understanding, reinforcing the connection between visual stimuli and historical events.
By incorporating this activity into the daily warm-up routine, students can develop a deeper appreciation for history, enhance their analytical skills, and actively engage with the learning process.
