• If your students struggle writing compound or complex sentences...
• If you want them to level up on revising & editing sections on state or district tests (commas, ya'll... tested SO OFTEN)...
• If you want them to fully and completely understand how to use a comma in all situations...
• AND you don't want to force them to do it...

DO IT WITH SENTENCE BURGERS!

By taking something they already understand and combining it with a manipulative made for ELA, you've got Sentence Burgers.

I've included many variations on this for:

• Independent work
• Group work
• Paired learning
• Whole class interaction

Through fun templates, opportunities for increased complex thinking as well as ways for teachers to measure learning through leveled/scaffolded practice and assessments.

Make Sentence Burgers the BEST and LAST way you teach compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences through FUN LEARNING

included:

- PDF (53 pages includes 20+ pages of templates + student reference pages)

-PowerPoint Lesson (11 slides)

-Google Quizzes (4 links)

- Practice Pages (4 areas in PDF)

- Quizzes (4 areas - replicated on Google Quizzes)

- Pics of completed templates (in folder)

Need to teach tone? Do it in a way your students will immediately understand through greeting cards! This is such a great way to also introduce non-fiction elements such as audience, message, and purpose.

The cards are simple to understand but require a little inferencing too. Using greeting cards means it's a lesson where students can learn and practice quickly.

The lesson has increased complexity, gradual release through group and independent work, and is adapted with a word bank.

What's Included:

• Detailed lesson on what tone is and isn't
• How to identify tone.
• Notes template for students to fill in during the lesson.
• Group practice with explanation.
• Individual practice.
• A two question formative assessment.

Learning the Parts of Speech for High School and Middle School - while this might one of those building blocks for lower levels, students still need a refresher.

Why is this important?

• Common Vocabulary - When talking about the structure of a sentence, students and teachers need a common vocabulary.
• Improve student writing - when students see how adverbs and adjectives create vivid sentences, you can prompt them to work them in.
• Structure Matters - when talking about what's wrong with a sentence, we have to examine the elements that go into it.

What's Included:

• Powerpoint Lesson covering the basics
• Guided Student Lecture Notes during the lesson
• In-Class Games
• Anchor Charts for Class & Notebooks
• 3 Pages of Practice
• 2 Student Activities are digital
• 1 Quiz (PDF & Google)
• Gimkit & Kahoot Templates for easy uploading
• Tips for teaching ELLs/EBs

“I’ll Always Remember” PowerPoint end-of-the-year project gives students an opportunity to creatively express their memories from each of their classes for the year. In this project, they combine pictures with a short paragraph about a specific memory they will “always remember” from each of their classes. The project was created for 8th graders but could easily be adapted to use with high school students.

This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Edmodo, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.

Files Included with this Lesson

• Teacher & Student Notes and Resources

• “I’ll Always Remember” PowerPoint Student Instructions, Expectations & Grading Rubric

• Photo release form

• Sample Slide (.pdf)

Avez-vous du mal à savoir par où commencer ? Où finir ? Avez-vous de la difficulté à enseigner de plus petits morceaux afin que vos élèves sachent ce qu'on attend d'eux, afin qu'ils puissent écrire efficacement et en toute confiance ? C'est votre première année d'enseignement et vous aimez voir un modèle ou un exemple pour vous guider dans les années à venir ? Cherchez vous des critères de réussite et des modèles - Avez-vous honnêtement du mal à faire la différence, vous-même, entre les différents genres que vos élèves sont censés produire ? Cherchez pas plus loin! J'ai fait le travail pour que vous puissiez enseigner avec confiance et pour que vos élèves performent avec confiance.

Mes études de genre vous donneront suffisamment de contenu enseignable, d'activités imprimables, d'invitations de discussion et d'opportunités d'écriture guidée pour écrire avec facilité et confiance. Chacun de mes ensembles de genres commence par un contenu enseignable et des minis-leçons et réflexions intégrées pour que vos élèves partagent, participent et collaborent avec leurs pairs. Si vous n'êtes pas à l'aise avec l'enseignement des genres, c'est le produit qu'il vous faut. JE guide vos cours, VOUS le facilitez en personne.

Mes produits sont FAITS avec vos grands enfants et adolescents à l'esprit. Vous ne trouverez pas de dessins animés enfantins, de polices difficiles à lire et exagérées et vous ne trouverez pas de mots croisés et d'espace perdu. Je prends le temps de m'assurer que mes produits sont attrayants pour un groupe d'élèves plus âgés, mais toujours attrayants, engageants et à leur niveau. Ils sont créés pour les élèves de la 4e à la 8e année en milieu Immersion ou Français langue première.

• L'autre moitié est constituée d'activités permettant aux élèves de développer leur propre bande dessinée.
• Ce document contient tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour enseigner à vos élèves la bande dessinée. Des tonnes d'organisateurs graphiques, d'invitations, d'activités, d'amorces et d'instructions étape par étape afin qu'ils puissent travailler de manière autonome pendant que vous travaillez avec ceux qui ont le plus besoin de vous.

Voici ce que vous pouvez attendre de cette ressource :

• 20 diapositives d'enseignement

• Intro à la B.D. (ses caractéristiques)

• Vocabulaire de B.D. (séquence, image, légende, dialogue, planche, bande (strip), vignette (case), style, thème, message, couleurs froids, chauds...)

• Jeu: Quelle partie de la B.D. est-ce?

• Les activités sur les onomatopées

• Carnet d'élève de 20 pages

• activités guidées, organisateurs graphiques, fiches imprimables. Comme:

• Traits de personnalité

• Dialogue selon personnalité

• Profils des personnages

• Qui suis-je? - découvrir sa personnalité

• Forces et faiblesses des personnages

• Que dirait-il?

• Le langage corporel

• Quoi dire?

• Développer la scène avec les 5 sens

• Les caractéristiques de l'endroit

• Ma B.D. planifiée (selon la courbe narrative)

• 4 planches vierges modèles (soit à utiliser comme tel ou à découper).

Mes documents évoluent constamment et j'ajoute des activités, des imprimables et du matériel didactique dès que je les réalise pour mon propre usage - et dès que je vois un besoin avec mes élèves de 5e et 6e.
