"A Christmas Carol" Vocabulary

By Colleen Burdette

Meaningful vocabulary:

I created these worksheets to allow students to use to context clues to find the meaning of unknown words. Students will find the given words within the novel "A Christmas Carol" and record the sentence in which the word can be found. Page numbers are provided to help with locating words. (Stave 2-5)

Students have the option to discuss the meaning of the words. They can either look up the meaning of the word or use context clues to define the words on their own.

I had the students complete these sheets after reading the section of the book, therefore the page numbers were helpful.

What's included:

  • Worksheets for each of the five staves of "A Christmas Carol".

How is the product useful:

  • Low prep for teacher.
  • Page numbers guide students to finding the words within the text.

Great Depression and Of Mice and Men Graphic Organizers

By Queen's Educational Resources

Great Depression and Of Mice and Men Graphic Organizers

ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

Differentiate Graphic Organizer

3 pages

PDF file

Suitable for Grades 5-12

This resource includes:

1 overview page

2 separate Inference/Text-to-Text Graphic Organizers: one for higher-level students and one differentiated for ELL, Special Ed, and lower-level students

Article and Image Links

Google Slide link

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

This resource is also included in Google Slides! Text boxes have already been created to make it easier for you and your students! Each slide includes two instruction solution tabs for when students accidentally delete text boxes and when they want to zoom in (to enlarge worksheets). It's super helpful for students who are not that familiar with how to use Google Slides or need the extra assistance.

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

Students read two Common Lit articles and observe/analyze images related to the Great Depression and Migrant workers (Links to all images and articles are provided - actual articles are NOT included. only links).

Students will observe, read, analyze, and make evidence-based inferences related to the Great Depression and the lives of migrant workers. Students will then use these texts (articles and images) to make connections to the characters / events in the book Of Mice and Men. The graphic organizers require students to cite evidence from both the articles, images, and the book to support their analysis, conclusions, and observations.

The two graphic organizers contain the same information, but one of them is differentiated for lower-level students.

✅ The differentiated version graphic organizer includes paraphrased, step-by-step instructions as well as examples of how to think about the information they observed in the images and read in the articles. These examples will increase their understanding of how to think about information and complete the graphic organizer appropriately.

These graphic organizers are excellent for Do Now, Launch, Group work, and/or Research activities. They can also be used to set a purpose for listening/watching video clips used to supplement lessons. It's a great tool to help build students' background/prior knowledge for upcoming units/topics!

This graphic organizer makes a great addition to a lesson plan!

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.
