Digital Resource | End of Year Writing Activity | ABC Memory Book

By Aimee in Elementary

This is a digital product designed to be used with Google Classroom or another assignment sharing platform. Students will need to have a gmail account to access this.

Students will come up with a word to represent each letter of the alphabet (each letter has its own slide). The word should have a specific meaning for that year. For example, students will avoid putting general words like “book”, and instead write the specific name of a book read in that grade. That way, they have this to look back on and remember the year! They will write a short description of why the chose the word, and insert an image to go along with the word!

Students can work independently or in groups. Although this is an ABC book, it is appropriate and fun for any grade level! Students will need to get creative to think of words specific to that year.

American Revolution Informational Writing Unit Digital & Print | 3rd & 4th Grade

By Creative Primary Literacy

This resource is a 3rd grade and 4th grade informational text writing unit about the American Revolutionary War. The unit focuses on key facts about the war and has been split into three separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each. The Google Slides activity is ideal for distance learning and perfect for students in third grade or fourth grade learning about U.S. History.

Included in the Informational Writing Unit:

  • A Google Slides version for online learning
  • A PDF printable version

The first lesson is interactive and involves students reading facts, and then sorting and ordering these facts into paragraphs. In the second lesson the children need to use these facts to type four paragraphs and write an introduction. In the final lesson students need to check their draft paragraphs before typing up their work on to the template provided.

If you would like to add another lesson, download the Revolutionary War Close Reading Activity | Digital & Print*. This would give the students more background knowledge before they start writing.*

This activity is an online resource, that uses Google Slides, and is linked to your Google Drive. It can be completed by students online using tablets or computers. If you are unsure how to allow the students to have their own individual copy take a look at the instructional video below:

Google Classroom - How to make a copy for each student - Assignment

The resource also comes in a PDF format, which can be printed.

Please ensure when you download this resource into Google Drive that you are logged in to the gmail account where you wish to store the activity. In the past teachers have downloaded resources into their school account in error. Thanks :)
