Do you need Morning Meeting Google Slides with Morning Meeting Questions and a Picture of The Day Slides for the whole year?

This is a bundle that includes 180 EDITABLE Morning Meeting Slides with beautiful backgrounds and creative questions and 180 EDITABLE Morning Meeting Pictures to share on a daily basis.

What I do each morning is display the Morning Meeting Questions, and I pick one slide to share and every student responds, which leads us to have deep discussions. I also share one Picture of The Day slide, and students are asked to infer, visualize, synthesize, and create connections with the picture. Looking closely at a picture is an important reading skill for students to develop to create inferences about what they are reading. 

The Morning Meeting Questions are higher-order questions that inspire thought-provoking answers. Additionally, I have built strong meaningful relationships with these slides!

"Higher-order questions put advanced cognitive demand on students. They encourage students to think beyond literal questions."

The topics and what is included:

• Differing questions for your students to enjoy, laugh or really think deeply about.
• “Should kids have to keep their rooms cleaned?”
• “Should kids get paid for grades?” Why?
• Morning Meeting Question Product- 185 Google Slide Pages
• Picture of The Day Slides- 180 Google Slide Pages

Are you trying to make theme sticky for your students? This resource includes practice worksheets for three short films under 5 minutes long: Piper, The Present, Pip available on Youtube for free. Students will love the beautiful graphics of the films, and the heart warming lessons to learn from each. I love using these films as mini lessons of about 10 minutes each or you can combine all three into a 30 minute practice session. This can be used virtually or in person, as extension activities or as direct instruction!

Free Bonus: Using Pixar to teach Somebody wanted, but, so then (Summary!) with answer keys.

Print these fun bookmarks on colored or white cardstock and provide them to your students. The goal is to challenge the students to read and keep up with the number of books they read. Once they have finished a book, they are to color it to reflect they have finished the book.

You may also choose to laminate and them and have them use a permanent marker to cross out the emoji.

This flip book goes through all 35 chapters of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams and has questions to ensure comprehension. It also includes a character map and background information on the author to help your students successfully navigate through the text. Answer key is included and the questions are easy to answer while reading the book. Easy to use and easy to grade. It makes a great study guide for students.

We Beat The Street Chapter 11 Questions, We Beat the Street Reading Comprehension

ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

★ Text: We Beat The Street

★ Chapter 11 Questions

★ 16 pages

★ Print and Digital

★ Detailed Answer Key included

This resource includes:

★ 1 Inference-Based Question "combo" Worksheet (contains all 5 questions together)

★ 5 Inference-based Question Worksheets (on a separate worksheet)

★ 5 Bulletin Board Task Display Pages (for each question worksheet)

★ 1 Scoring Rubric

★ 1 Blank Worksheet (for you to generate your own question!)

★ ANSWER KEY (very detailed!)

This resource focuses on CHAPTER 11 of We Beat The Street and features 5 inference-based questions that require students to demonstrate inferential thinking and a deep analysis of the chapter - beyond literal comprehension. Each inference-based question can be treated as an extended response where students must make inferences and support their responses, ideas, and/or analysis with evidence from the text.

► There is a "combo" worksheet, which includes all five questions on two pages. There are also 5 separate worksheets that include the same questions on a different worksheet. This allows for more extensive responses. You can have students either complete all five inference-based questions on the "combo" worksheet all at once OR you can have students complete each of the questions at different times: for classwork, independent practice, homework, or formative assessment - your choice! You can even give students different questions depending on their levels - excellent for differentiation.

► I also included a blank worksheet for you to generate your own question and students write it in the box!

► A detailed ANSWER KEY for the questions have been included. The ideas and evidence in the Answer Keys are accompanied by page numbers to help you facilitate discussion more smoothly and navigate to important ideas and events without looking for the information in the book. The Answer Keys are so comprehensive that you can even develop additional questions that will encourage students to engage in productive classroom talk!

► A 2-Point rubric is included for scoring with a section for comments and feedback at the bottom. Finally, there are five visually appealing Bulletin Board Task Display Pages to display with student work. The Bulletin Board Task Display Pages are personalized for each question worksheet! You have everything you need to score these assignments and display on bulletin boards immediately upon completion. It's a great way to showcase student work!

► 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.

This FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE STATIONS activity is a fun and effective method for giving students practice at analyzing the most important types of figurative language. Students will develop the skills not only to identify types of figurative language but also to explain how figurative language contributes to the meaning of a literary text!

Students will learn about figurative language while gaining exposure to the most profound and thought-provoking quotations from the world's greatest writers! They'll be asked to analyze the figures of speech in over 120 inspiring quotations by a diverse range of important authors: Chinua Achebe, Louisa May Alcott, Maya Angelou, Jane Austen, James Baldwin, William Blake, Emily Dickinson, John Donne, Louise Erdrich, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Robert Frost, Zora Neale Hurston, John Keats, Harper Lee, Toni Morrison, George Orwell, Zadie Smith, John Steinbeck, Henry David Thoreau, Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf, and many others.

This stations activity focuses on the 8 types of figurative language that are used most commonly in literature: metaphor, simile, metonymy, personification, apostrophe, paradox, oxymoron, and hyperbole.

Here's what you'll find inside this 40-page resource:

• Stations Worksheets (x8): This resource includes a total of 8 worksheets focused on 8 types of figurative language. Each worksheet challenges students to explain the meaning or effect created by the same figure of speech found across 6 quotations. The quotations include some of the most profound and thought-provoking lines from famous authors — a total of 48 quotations! (8 pages)

• Answer Keys to Stations Worksheets (x8): The answer keys explain how the figures of speech found across 48 quotations contribute to the meaning of the quotation. (8 pages)

• Station Placards (x8): The 8 placards can be folded and placed on the desks that correspond to the 8 stations. The placards add a splash of colorful decoration to this activity. (8 pages)

• Literary Devices Glossary: This 1-page glossary features the 8 types of figurative language that are used most frequently in literature. The glossary includes definitions of the 8 types of figurative language as well as one or two examples of how each figure of speech gets used in famous quotations. Students can use the glossary to study in preparation for the quizzes on figurative language. (1 page)

• Quiz: Metaphors & Similes: This quiz focuses only on metaphors and similes; it challenges students to identify the figures of speech used across 15 famous quotations. Answer key included. (2 pages)

• Quiz: All Types of Figurative Language (x2): These two quizzes focus on all 8 types of figurative language. The first quiz challenges students to identity the figures of speech used across 25 quotations. The second quiz is similar but features 20 longer quotations; it could be used as a make-up quiz or extra-credit quiz. Answer keys included. (8 pages)

• Quiz: Figurative Language in Music: This quiz focuses on the types of figurative language used in 10 famous song lyrics by musicians such as The Beatles, Paul Simon, Elton John, John Legend, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift. Answer key included. (2 pages)

Here are the types of figurative language featured across the 8 stations:

1. Metaphor

2. Simile

3. Metonymy

4. Personification

5. Apostrophe

6. Paradox

7. Oxymoron

8. Hyperbole

The entire 40-page resource will come to you in two separate formats: Word doc and PDF. Because the Word doc is fully editable, you'll be able to customize the materials to suit the skill levels of your particular students — year after year! If you don't have Microsoft Word, you'll still be able to access the entire resource as a PDF — which is easy to navigate and quick to print!

I'm eager to do everything I can to ensure that you have an amazing experience with figurative language! If you have any questions along the way, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Thank you for stopping by Rigorous Resources!

Have your middle schoolers regressed in their reading strategies, or do you have students that require explicit strategies relating to their fluency and phrasing? This collection of slides is intended for big kids who need extra support. The language is intended for grades 5 through 8. They're not babyish, and the texts used are at the level of your pre-teen and teen crowds!

This 35-page document provides you with posters (which you can display digitally as anchor charts, or have them printed), mentor texts to model the strategy or do a shared reading with your students, and independent task prompts.

In this document, you'll find:

• 9 Anchor Charts reflecting 9 different strategies.

• "I can read less common words with fluency."

• "I can make sense of my reading."

• "I can read with intonation and expression."

• "I can read with phrasing."

• "I can make my voice match the punctuation."

• "I can warm up my fluency by reading an easy book."

• "I can pay attention to punctuation."

• "Hear me out!"

• "I can be a helpful reading partner."

• 10 mentor texts.

• 8 independent tasks (often using writer's notebooks or post-its.)

I translate the majority of my documents to have both English and French versions; however, this is an English-only document.

This Pre-Reading Chalk Talk is a great no-prep activity that you can use to introduce the novel, Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. This PRINTABLE and DIGITAL lesson is completed in small groups and is more interactive than any Anticipation Guide I’ve ever used! As they complete this Chalk Talk, students will be activating prior knowledge about the deeper issues in the story. You will love this well-organized activity that allows students to collaborate with each other interactively, whether it be at their devices working on the same file, or moving around the room! Printable PDF and Google Drive versions are included, as well as a printable Reflection sheet that will allow them to reflect on the ideas presented.

A Chalk Talk is a way to have a silent discussion about a question. Pre-reading and anticipatory activities are comprehension strategies that are used before reading to activate students' prior knowledge and build curiosity about a new topic. Completed before reading, this engaging Chalk Talk will stimulate students' interest in a topic and set a purpose for reading.
