Hatchet Pre-Reading Reflection Questions
By Abigail J McClellan
This resource is the perfect pre-reading assignment for the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. It includes six statements where students need to decide if they strongly agree, somewhat agree, somewhat disagree, and strongly disagree. They then have to give their reasoning. These six pre-reading reflection questions get students' brains activated and thinking about various themes, lessons, and ideas they will come across in the novel. It is great to see what students are thinking on these big topics before they begin the novel!! Not only is it fun and engaging for your students, the responses students give are also very interesting to read as a teacher! This product comes with a printable version (pdf) and a Google Drive (Google Slides) version for a total of 4 pages.
** Research has shown that deeper comprehension takes place when students are engaged in activities that bridge prior knowledge with what they are about to learn. This product will help students connect the novel to their already existing knowledge in order to make the new reading more stimulating and engaging.
★ This product is great for Distance Learning. Simply assign the Google Slides to students on Google Classroom or your classroom digital platform. It can be accessed at school or home and requires no prep at all!
★ Feel free to use either the paper OR digital version - BOTH are included with your purchase!

Are you looking for an introduction lesson for teaching main idea? Are your students struggling with main idea and supporting details or just Listening skills in general? The secret to getting the main idea is to teach the student to identify the topic, and then teach the student to identify what the purpose of the narrative was (Entertain/ Inform/ Persuade/ Instruct).
This is A 36 card/slide Lesson with 36 multiple choice prompts and 36 open-ended prompts which allow you to determine if the student can grasp the main idea. Narratives get progressively more complex as the student moves through the cards. A 4 page PDF assessment in included.
The cards work well with any students grades 6-10 or best when used with students who have mild cognitive delays yet basic language skills. An independent lesson will take about 30 minutes however if you are using it as a teaching tool during instruction the lesson can easily fill 60 minutes with breaks in between for group discussion.

The Door of No Return by Kwame Alexander Vocabulary
By Ms. J's ELA
This resource should accompany Kwame Alexander's novel The Door of No Return. This resource covers vocabulary words from each chapter of the book. This is what you will receive in this Google Drive folder:
- A list of vocabulary words from each chapter. 10 words in chapters 1-5 & 7, 14 words in chapter 6 (there were just so many good ones)
- A worksheet for each list which asks students to identify the line or sentence in which they see the word. Then they need to guess at the definition using context clues. There is also a place for the dictionary definition so they can check how they did with the context clues.
- A self-grading Google Forms test for each vocabulary list. The students must choose the correct word to match the definition from a dropdown list. Then they must type the correct vocabulary word to fill in sentence blanks.
- An Easel test for each vocabulary list. These tests are identical to the Google Forms tests mentioned above. However, Easel does not have a fill-in-the-blank option. Students will choose the correct word from the list to fill in the blank. All questions are single select.
- A link to my Quizlet folder for this novel. It contains individual vocabulary sets for each chapter.
- A sheet that looks similar to a Frayer model. It is blank and can be used with any vocabulary word. Students can use this to identify the definition, part of speech, synonyms, and antonyms. They will also write a sentence using the word and draw a picture for the word. These sheets come in color and black & white.
- Two PDF files that contain 135 vocabulary words from the entire novel. One word can be assigned to each student, and they can share what they learn about the word.
- A few other activities that can be used with any vocabulary word. An acrostic poem sheet, a word web sheet, a doodle notes sheet.
