Spider Map Graphic Organizer

By Homeschool with Big Easy Homeschooling Mom

Graphic organizers can be helpful as a visual aid when students are writing.

  • Helps students focus on their thoughts for planning, decision-making, and writing an essay

  • Helps students see the connections, patterns, and relationships between facts, concepts, and ideas 

  • Organizers provide a visual depiction for writers by showing them where each piece of the essay is placed within an essay

Spider maps are used to display the main concept or idea in a circle in the middle of the map and supporting ideas branch off from the main concept circle.

I hope your students/children enjoy this concept map by understanding the importance of why a graphic organizer is needed, as well as understanding the variables of a concept map.

The Spider Map is in Google Slides, Powerpoint, and PDF formats.

Happy Writing!

OTHELLO [ESSAY EXAM]

By Richard B Williams

OTHELLO Essay Exam provides students a chance to show what they know. 15 Essay Writing Prompts to encourage insightful responses from this canonized work. Also, there are an additional 15 Discussion Questions to be used for additional essay practice or group projects. 11th - 12th Graders will love this essay exam. Check it out!

SUMMARY:

In Venice, Iago is furious about being overlooked for promotion and plots to take revenge against his General, Othello, the Moor of Venice. Iago manipulates Othello into believing his wife Desdemona is unfaithful, stirring Othello's jealousy. In Othello, Shakespeare delves into the human condition and how we respond to jealousy, deception, loyalty, and treachery. Will Othello reflect our own sentiments or not? Would we be driven to murder as well?

This 10th - 12th grade canonized work allows students to delve into the importance of what happens when we don't check our loyalties and love. Can we be too ambitious? Can one person show both heroic and villainous sides at the same time?

MLA Format Checklist Handout for Google Docs with Visual Examples

By Christina Bush

It's one thing to tell students that their papers need to be in MLA format, but it's another to actually give them an example AND the steps to make those adjustments. This comprehensive checklist is a perfect tool to help your students learn for themselves in our digital world - starting with adjusting their essays to MLA format on Google Docs!

What is this resource?

This resource provides students with a labeled example of an essay written in MLA format, as well as a step-by-step guide on how to make each adjustment in Google Docs. This guide even includes icon images so students can get a visual of what these tools look like!

How do I use this in my classroom?

In my writing units, I format the students' rough drafts before I assign it to them on Google Classroom, but they have to format their papers themselves when it comes time for them to type up their final drafts. I give them this checklist when I first assign the Final Draft assignment and give them time to follow the steps themselves. I facilitate and answer questions as needed.

What's Included?

  • A Comprehensive Checklist of steps to follow in order to adjust an essay to be in MLA format on Google Docs - in color!
  • Black & White option of the Checklist
  • A clearly-labeled example of an essay typed in MLA format
