ELA Book for Student Reference/Writing/Literature/Grammar/Organizers
By Blooming Through High School
Perfect for learners who have IEP's requiring class notes, correctly completed examples, and graphic organizers.
Bundle and save with the All Things English Revising & Editing Workbook
I was tired of writing things on the board over and over again. I was tired of printing out pages that students threw away. I was also tired of answering questions that students could find for themselves. So I made a book to make sure I wouldn't have to anymore.
Over the course of 2 months, I thought of everything that I would have to teach, explain, write examples of, and print, and I put all my tips and tricks into ONE BOOK. I printed this out and spiral bound all the pages for each of my students. Every time my students ask me to repeat something, I point them to the book.
I also use this in my class for reference during specific lessons as well. It's a game changer! I save time and I save my sanity.
It's the MOST helpful for all the little pieces students need to know for all the stages of writing: brainstorming, pre-writing, paragraphs, citations, plagiarism, and much, much more.
WANT TO REVISE THIS TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN? I've added the Word document for teachers to modify to fit their teaching style!

READING PASSAGES | COMPREHENSION | SCIENCES | INFORMATIF | NON-FICTION (FRENCH)
By French Made Fun!
I've been asked by many to create a document that encompasses lots of comprehension texts and questions, specifically related to science. Interdisciplinary approaches are becoming more popular, but it's not always easy to find texts that meet the needs of our curriculum!
This 73-page document includes 22 different texts directly linked to grade 6 science units; including biodiversity and protecting our planet, space and the solar system, air and flight, as well as grade 5 concepts including forces and structures and matter.
All except two texts come with comprehension questions.
These will allow you to explore texts in your LA reading blocks, and will allow your students to improve their comprehension. These texts are informational, or hybrid texts that will give your students rich, meaningful readings. They're printer-friendly, with no foolish fonts or babyish images.
In this collection, you'll find the following titles:
Hopefully this helps you find common ground in your language block, so you can move quicker through the science units you're expected to cover before year's end.
One Story, Two Perspectives: Exploring Subjectivity thru Dual-Perspectives 5-8
By Mark Holmes
One Story, Two Perspectives: Exploring Subjectivity and Empathy through Dual-Perspective Narratives 5-8
Description:
Dive into the world of subjectivity and empathy with "1 Story, 2 Perspectives," a unique collection of eight short stories, each told from two contrasting viewpoints. Designed for students in grades 5-8, this resource encourages readers to examine familiar scenarios through different lenses, fostering understanding, compassion, and critical thinking skills.
Each story features two distinct characters, such as the shy new kid and the boisterous class clown, or the driven athlete and the passionate artist. By presenting both perspectives side by side, these narratives invite students to step into the shoes of each character, exploring their thoughts, feelings, and motivations. As students engage with the stories, they'll develop a deeper appreciation for the role that personality, priorities, and life experiences play in shaping one's perception of the world.
But the learning doesn't stop with the stories themselves! This comprehensive resource also includes 20 thought-provoking activities and discussion questions, providing educators with a wealth of tools for extending the lessons of empathy and perspective-taking. From comparative analysis and writing prompts to role-playing exercises and real-world connections, these activities are designed to help students internalize the stories' messages and apply them to their own lives.
Key features of "1 Story, 2 Perspectives":
By exploring these dual-perspective narratives and engaging in the accompanying activities, students will:
"One Story, Two Perspectives" is a must-have resource for any educator looking to promote social-emotional learning, character education, and the development of 21st-century skills. Download now and watch as your students grow into more understanding, empathetic, and open-minded individuals!
