ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

★ Writing Reflection Worksheets

10 pages

Print and Digital

Great for ANY subject area

Suitable for Elementary, Middle, and High School Students

This resource includes:

★ 4 Writing Reflection Sheets (with and without graphics / 9 Sheets Total)

★ 1 Skills List Sheet

★ 1 Google Slide Link

*******************************

This resource includes 4 Writer's Reflection Worksheets (with and without graphics / print and digital) that give students an opportunity to reflect about the writing process and writing assignments they have completed. This product also includes a "List of Writing Skills" sheet, which lists a variety of writing skills that students can reflect about, have used, or need additional support in (when completing their writing tasks).

The list of writing skills sheet will help students select and reflect about skills that best apply to them. Often times, students don't know what skills to think about and/or consider unless they are presented with the skills at hand. This is an excellent tool for lower level students who need additional support in thinking about their writing.

✅ The worksheets contain amazing page borders, fonts, and clip arts - very visually appealing!

✅ This will be an excellent addition to a final writing piece about a particular book/text. I often display reflection sheets next to students' work on bulletin boards and with their final writing products!

✅ This resource includes both print and digital versions (with text boxes already created)! You can assign reflection sheets to students in person or remotely – either way works!

Introducing methods to help students know their audience when preparing for a speech has never been easier!

This lesson is designed to help the students with all aspects of understanding their audience, so they can prepare their presentation accordingly.

The slide show, and worksheets allow students to practice and develop their public speaking skills. The worksheets reinforce guided note-taking techniques when used in conjunction with the slide show. The detailed lesson plans make implementing public speaking, speech and debate curriculum easy for teachers.

These no-prep lessons are adaptable for in-class instruction, distance learning, or independent student work. The PowerPoints can also be presented as whole class instruction or assigned for students to complete at home.

All materials are available in both Google Drive™ and print formats, ensuring easy access for all students.

Contains:

♣ 4 trimino puzzles (2 in B&W and 2 in colour)

What is trimino (triomino) puzzle and how to use it:
