"A Christmas Carol": Activities and Vocabulary Bundle
By Colleen Burdette
Engaging activities for literature:
"A Christmas Carol" Vocabulary: Students will find the given words within the novel "A Christmas Carol" and record the sentence in which the word can be found. I had the students complete these sheets after reading the section of the book.
Creative activity: Students participate in an activity where they will write and illustrate their stories of Christmas past, present, and yet to come, in a way that is similar to what happens to Scrooge in the novel.
Students loved sharing their stories and hearing the hopes their classmates have for their futures.
As a culminating activity: Students read or watch A Christmas Carol and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, my students read A Christmas Carol and watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas, for an engaging activities before the holiday. They will practice comparing and contrasting in three different ways, including an exciting snowball fight.

Vocabulary Builder Fill in the Blanks worksheets Level 3
By Peter D
Note to Teachers
This set of worksheets consists of 111 pages of Fill in the Blanks exercises. Each page has at least ten words or phrases for students to fill in the blanks in the given sentences.
Learning new vocabulary is an important part of language development. Instead of simply memorizing vocabulary lists, it is beneficial to learn new vocabulary words in some kind of meaningful context.
Fill in the Blanks exercises are effective at helping students develop their language skills in numerous ways. Each vocabulary word must be placed in the blank based on meaning of the sentence. This task challenges students to first understand the meaning of the sentence and then select the appropriate word. It is an effective task for developing cognitive skills as well as general language skills.
The vocabulary words in these exercise pages were selected from various stories that we have studied. These words are found quite commonly in written texts so it is useful for students to acquire these vocabulary words.
If students are unfamiliar with some of these words, then students are encouraged to use a dictionary or work together in small groups.
I have found that students enjoy these types of activities and that students can develop various useful skills related to language development.
Levels: There are four sets of vocabulary builder worksheets divided into four levels. The approximate range of grades for each level is listed below.
Vocabulary Worksheets:
Vocabulary Builder Level 1: Grades 1-4
Vocabulary Builder Level 2: Grades 3-6
Vocabulary Builder Level 3: Grades 5-8
Vocabulary Builder Level 4: Grades 7-10 (under construction)

Sentence Diagramming Bell Ringers: Weeks 5-16
By Ms. J's ELA
These sentence diagramming bell ringers will last three full months. This resource contains twelve Google Slide presentations- one for each week. There is also an assessment for the end of week seven, the end of week twelve, and the end of week sixteen to test student knowledge. The daily activities should last 5-10 minutes. EVERYTHING IS EDITABLE.
THIS RESOURCE COVERS:
- Prepositions
- Adjectival Prepositional Phrases
- Adverbial Prepositional Phrases
- Coordinating Conjunctions
- Compound Sentences
- Compound Subjects and Predicates
- Compound Adjectives and Adverbs
- Compound Prepositional Phrases
- Linking Verbs
- Predicate Adjectives
- Predicate Nominatives
- Transitive Verbs
- Direct Objects
- Indirect Objects
Answers are included for all diagrams.
Sentence diagramming is so helpful when teaching students parts of speech and sentence structure. The repetitiveness of diagramming for a bell ringer is extremely beneficial for students. I tried grammar workbooks for years, but my students hardly retained anything. Daily sentence diagramming made them remember their parts of speech, and was an amazing foundation for my students to have when we started forming different types of sentences. They picked up on fixing run-ons quickly as well because of their diagramming foundation.
