WHAT'S INCLUDED....

1. Back to School Bulletin Board Bundle

Includes 3 All About Me activities featuring fashion sneakers and crocs and is the perfect way to get to know your students! Crocs, Converse and Nike Air Jordans are popular among teens, and any teacher that presents an activity using them will receive immediate engagement and be crowned the "cool teacher." **A DIGITAL VERSION OF THE CROCS ACTIVITY IS NOW INCLUDED IN THE DOWNLOAD!** Students can now fill in the text boxes and cut and paste the Jibbitz using Google Slides (or PowerPoint if downloaded).

Perfect for Back to School season to get your new batch of kiddos better acquainted with each other! Use this activity year after year, as students get to know each other through their interests rather than completing a boring worksheet!

Makes for a unique hallway bulletin board display as well, just in time for Open House or Parent Night! A printable PDF banner that reads " Walking into the New School Year Like..." is included, which makes for a quick and easy setup because there's no individual letters to have to tediously cut out!

These resources require NO PREP - simply print, complete the short writing prompts, color, cut out and hang!

This resource includes:

• Completed Color Croc, Jordans, and Converse Samples for Demonstration
• 3 Printable All About Me Templates

Whether you call it "Would You Rather" or "This or That," the prompts make a great conversation starter that kids love, and they will be begging you for more!

⭐I like to use these slides for a quick brain break. I use about 10 slides at a time!

Note: If your district does not allow you to add to your Google Drive, or you would prefer a PDF version of this activity, simply send me a message here with your email address through the Q&A and I will email it to you after you have purchased the resource.

Ideas for using these questions:

You'll see instant engagement as students realize this isn't another boring classroom game.

Simply print the included labels for each corner of your classroom and project one of the questions. Read it aloud, then students should move to the corner that corresponds with their answer choices. You'll quickly see that students will start opening up as they relax and feel confident to defend their choices.

This bundle includes the in-class and digital version of our Escape from Dystopia Escape Room!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock. Now, you can facilitate our popular Escape from Dystopia Escape Rooms in the classroom and at home for distance learning with this meticulously-crafted bundle. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to signs and answer keys so that yours run smoothly from start to finish. All tasks are skills-based so that with these fun lessons, learning is not sacrificed. Whether they are in school or at home, your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize how much they're learning about dystopian literature!

How does it work?

In order to escape from your dystopian [digital] classroom of despair and destruction, your students must escape your room by solving 5 different utopian and dystopian related puzzles, discovering a hidden message, and finding clues along the way.

• Dystopia FAQs: In the first task, students must complete a crossword puzzle with questions about dystopian and utopian societies. Once complete, they must unscramble circled boxes to reveal the first code.
• Trending Now: In the second task, students must match an actual current law, statistic or trend with the dystopian novel that shows what, if taken to the extreme, could happen to our world. Once completed correctly, letters within the shaded boxes will reveal the second code.
• Word Maze: In the third task, students must complete a word maze. Letters collected along the way will reveal a theme of dystopia and act as the third code.
• Unknown Citizen: In the fourth task, students must perform a close reading of W. H. Auden's The Unknown Citizen. This is the perfect poem for discussing the totalitarian aspects of dystopian societies and how citizens can completely lose their individuality within them. The letters of the multiple choice questions about the poem will form the fourth code.
• Dys/U topia?: In the fifth and final task, students must assemble two charts for Utopia and Dystopia using hypothetical elements of both types of society. Letters of the correct answers reveal the final code phrase to escape the classroom!

In-Class Escape Room Includes:

- Escape Room Basics

*Note that this is the digital version of the escape room; tasks are identical, just reformatted for digital experience. Requires use of Google Slides.*

These escape rooms can be used as an introduction to or as a review of dystopia, however students will need at least a fundamental understanding of utopian and dystopian societies prior to engaging in the activities. Therefore, this 30-slide Introduction to Dystopia Powerpoint is included to be taught a day or two prior to the escapes.

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

Products included in this bundle:

⭐ "Still I Rise" (Angelou) Lesson Plan & Materials -- A best-selling product!

This lesson plan on Angelou's poem can be used in a variety of ways throughout the school year. For instance, the lesson is the perfect jumpstart for your unit on slavery, Civil Rights, poetry, or Women's Rights in America. It can also be used as a stand-alone lesson to get your students to reflect upon and discuss overcoming their own personal obstacles. Given the theme of the poem, the lesson even acts as a great medium for discussing how to to rise above bullying in a society where bullying is sadly so prevalent. These meticulously laid-out materials and lesson plan will have your students thinking, speaking, reading, and writing all in one class period and interacting deeply with one of the most beautiful and resounding works of American poetry.

I invented the take on this game several years ago and it has become one of my students' and my favorite days of the whole school year. There is truly nothing like seeing students having a great time while studying Shakespeare. I am confident that your students will love it too!

⭐"Literature Talk" Lesson Plan

Looking for an engaging way to get your ESL students to build their communication skills and vocabulary? Taboo is a fun speaking and listening game where one student has to guess a word based on clues given by other students. The catch is that they cannot mention anything that is included in a list of taboo words.

250 different game cards!

You can easily modify this game to play it with all levels!  You are going to love hearing your students speaking in English to each other about all kinds of vocabulary words in these classic versions that have no particular theme.

Object of the game:

One player tries to get his teammate to guess the word at the top of a card. The player must give clues, but he can't use any of the Taboo words in his description. The taboo words are written beneath the underlined word at the top of the card.

Teams score points for each word successfully guessed. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Beginner students should be allowed to use the TABOO words printed on the cards. This will encourage them to use new vocabulary and will help them in forming sentences to use as clues.

This ESL Taboo vocabulary and speaking game includes the following:

• How to play ESL Taboo (beginner and advanced levels)
