Writing a story can be so overwhelming! I have come with this writing pack that is intended to help your students organize their ideas before writing their first draft. This step-by-step activity groups every aspect of story writing such as: genre, setting, characters, details, etc. It also helps the students with their descriptive writing by asking them targeted questions. This is an excellent tool for beginner writers, struggling writers, or English Language learners.

Use the “Writing Buddy” handout on my TeachShare store along with this resource and your students can become more independent when writing a short story.

You can use these resources for several days, giving students a chance to think through while writing their first draft.

Really easy to use. Just print, hole punch, staple and go!

Thank you!

This resource is designed to help improve penmanship through the use of pangrams. A pangram is a sentence that uses all 26 letters of the alphabet. This tool includes:

- 15 different pangrams for students to practice writing. Each one is unique and will challenge students to form every letter of the alphabet.

- A list of all 15 pangrams. This can be used as a reference or as a typing exercise to improve keyboarding skills.

- A pangram definition sheet. This sheet explains what a pangram is and challenges students to create their own. This can spark creativity and further practice in writing and letter formation.

- 15 pangram flashcards students can use for penmanship practice or typing exercise. 2 versions included.

This resource is versatile and can be tailored to the needs of individual students. It can be used in the classroom or at home for additional writing practice. The use of pangrams adds an element of fun to the often tedious task of penmanship practice, keeping students engaged and motivated.

Are you in need of cute and functional nameplates/nametags for your students? Look no further! This resource is perfect for you! These nametags measure approximately 4.27 inches high and 10.91 inches width wise (numbers will vary based on how you cut them out). These are a bit bigger so they won't fit in the holders from target but they are easy to laminate. Once you edit - print on your preferred paper (cardstock is my preference - I like Astrobrights), laminate and cut! Easy to cute - just cut across in the middle!

Students will be able to use these right away to help with their multiplication facts, place value and gives them an idea of what the cursive letters look like! I am using them in my fourth grade class and the students are already raving about how helpful they are - no more straining to see the posters!

I attach mine with velcro so that students can easily take them with them if they work in a different area of the room.

You will need a font KA Jackfruit for it to look just like mine. I included the link to purchase the font in the file. Zip files open to an editable powerpoint!

Review are appreciated and helpful for me! Please reach out with any questions or concerns!

We Beat The Street Chapter Vocabulary Words

ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

★ Text - We Beat The Street

★ Words Defined (by chapter)

★ Print and Digital

★ 10 pages / 312 words student-friendly defined

This resource includes:

★ 10 pages of 312 Defined Words

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

We Beat the Street Vocabulary Words were selected from each chapter of the book and defined in student-friendly terms. Vocabulary words and their definitions are grouped by chapters. Each vocabulary word is accompanied by the page number and its definition.

✅ This is a great resource for students who need some words defined to enhance their comprehension of the reading. While reading the book, students can refer to the vocabulary packet anytime they come across unfamiliar words. They will have complete access to word meanings as they read to support and enhance comprehension. This also saves "dictionary time."

✅ This can serve as a differentiation tool for students who need additional support in reading comprehension. Another great idea is asking students to incorporate some of these words in their writing responses/assignments.

✅ This resource is also included in Google Slides in case you want to share it with your students digitally!

This resource looks at the differences and similarities between women among the different regions and between white and African-American women.

Students can read this on their own as a homework assignment or it can be a group activity in a classroom. It is also ideally suited for home-schoolers or independent learners who want to learn more about women's contributions. A Worksheet with questions based on the reading is included, along with an Answer Key.

Looking for a final writing assignment on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar? This resource features everything you'll need to lead students through the process of writing an analytical essay about Julius Caesar.

The resource features 5 writing prompts which will motivate students to think with nuance about important themes in the play. The resource also includes scaffolding to help students select evidence, generate an outline, and begin writing. For teachers, the resource features an assessment rubric which can be used to grade and provide feedback on students' analytical writing.

As a bonus, this resource also features a two-page handout on how to embed quotations within an analytical essay. The handout provides students with three techniques for framing textual evidence: the block quotation, the clause-and-colon method, and the integration of short quotations into one's own sentence.

Here's what you'll find in this editable 10-page resource:

• Analytical Writing Assignment: Challenge students to take their interpretations one step further by writing an analytical paper on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Let students choose from one of 5 thought-provoking sample topics — or invite them to develop a topic of their own. Writing schedule, outline template, and rubric included. (4 pages)
• Framing Quotations: This handout provides students with advice about how to embed textual evidence into a body paragraph. The handout familiarizes students with three different methods for framing quotations: the block quotation, the clause-and-colon method, and the integration of key words and phrases within one's own sentence. (2 pages)
• Outline Template: Provide students with the scaffolding necessary to write a five-paragraph essay. This outline template challenges students to fill in a text box for every part of their essay: hook, thesis, topic sentences, evidence, analysis, and conclusion. (3 pages)
• Assessment Rubric: Evaluate student essays in a quick and efficient manner by using an analytical writing rubric. (1 page)

The entire unit will come to you in two separate formats: Word Docs *and* PDFs. Because the Word docs are fully editable, you'll be able to customize them to match the skill levels of your students year after year. If you don't have Microsoft Word, you'll still be able to access PDF versions which are easy to navigate and quick to print.

Do you print out your student's writing and have them peer edit? Do you have students' correct sentences when teaching grammar? Then these are perfect for you. These are quick, easy editing marks students can use to correct writing or assist with grammar lessons. I print them out, number the back of them and laminate them.

I hand them out at the beginning of the year to keep in their writing binder. When we do Daily Language they use a red pen to edit the sentences and then rewrite the sentences correctly. When we peer edit I print their writing and they meet with a partner and peer edit each other's work using these correction marks.

This resource includes

• 6 different colors, 2 to a page editing mark cheat sheets
• an example of how to use the editing marks (this could also be a handout you can give to the students or post in the classroom).

If you would like to pair them with my Daily Language worksheets you can grab them HERE! These are great morning work activities that continue to build the student's understanding of grammar and editing of their work.

This story is also available as part of an eight story ebook, "Young Voices: Eight Short Stories of Courage & Resilience."

Set during the Kashmir conflict, "Iqbal and Yasmin: A Story of Childhood in Kashmir" tells the poignant story of two siblings experiencing the harrowing realities of war. Iqbal, an eight-year-old boy, and his sister Yasmin face the loss of innocence as their village is engulfed by violence with Indian and Pakistani forces in constant contention. Yasmin suffers a traumatic assault by a soldier, while Iqbal strives to restore normalcy by organizing cricket games. Their childhood is a stark contrast of fear and a courageous attempt to find joy and unity in a time of despair.

There are thought provoking questions (and possible answers) at the end of the story.

Learning Objectives

Understanding Conflict: The book provides a lens to view the Kashmir conflict and its effects on the local population.

Effects of War on Children: It emphasizes the profound impact of conflict on the mental and physical well-being of young people.

Resilience and Hope: Iqbal's actions illustrate the capacity for resilience and the pursuit of communal healing even in the darkest times.

Cultural Insight: Readers learn about Kashmir's rich culture and the severe challenges its people face.

Human Rights: The story is a gateway to discussions about protecting civilians and upholding human rights during conflict.

Peacebuilding: It encourages the exploration of non-violent methods for conflict resolution and peacebuilding within communities.
