A Face for a Pumpkin-that's what Corey wants to make when he gets home! In this close reading activity written on a middle-year 3rd grade level, Corey fails to make a jack o' lantern until his dad walks him through the steps. This is a fun fictional read that gets students to look closely at "how-to" writing. In the end, after studying the text for key words and transitions and answering questions, students are asked to write their own how-to passage.
A fun Halloween or Fall activity, this close read is all about jack-o-lanterns and "how to" writing. If you have students who do not celebrate Halloween, or if you school does not celebrate Halloween, this activity is perfect for you! The word "Halloween" is not included in the passage or questions, and other related concepts such as trick-or-treating are not mentioned as well.
Designed for students to first read independently and then again with a partner, this activity encourages students to reread text, while teaching them strategies for close reading.
The nature of close reading, as well as the passage and questions lend this activity to Standardized Test Practice. This specific close read was created with Standardized Test Prep in mind, and the questions have the look and feel of Benchmark/SAT 9 test questions. The reading passage is written on a middle of the year 3rd grade Reading Level, which makes the passage ideal for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. They can focus on reading closely and paying attention to the text, without getting stuck by too difficult concepts and words.
Close reading is a strategy that is encouraged through Common Core, best completed with short passages such as the one provided here.

A range of practical measuring activities with a magical theme. Used this with a mixed ability Yr4 class and have never seen them more engaged or excited by maths learning - especially the potion making. It had to match the colour of mine (used 4 different food colours) and was a 'de-gnoming' potion. Groups of 4 all chose a magical team name - fab!

The third week of a SoW which has students studying short stories and ultimately writing their own. These lessons use stories by South Asian writers, including Jhumpa Lahiri, and focus on story openings, having students explore how they hook a reader, drawing them into the world of the story, and then on how sentence openings can be used to provide variation, fluency, cohesion and effect in writing. Students then have an opportunity to write creatively using the writing skills and knowledge of short stories gained during this unit so far. Used for Year 9; could be adapted for other years.
Mental and oral starters for Year 1 Spring Teaching Sequence 7.
