These cards explain the primary and secondary colours as well as tints, tones and shades. They also show how to make all of the colours by mixing different paints together.

TONE DRAWING WORKSHEETS for students to practice and improve their tonal range.

Tone is an important ‘Visual Element’ in Art to master and these sheets are a great way to practice and refine various techniques. I have also included a Tone flash card which talks through the various principles of using tone in Art. This would be a great slide on the board well students are completing the task. It is also printable to A3 for a poster.

Students draw a postcard, with a given scenario, and write a message in the voice of the given writer to the given recipient - here they practice writing succinctly in a voice they take on. As an extra challenge, to practise tone, students can draw an emoticon to include that emotion in their message.
The second phase of the task is to swap the postcards and then for students to write a reply to the postcard they receive in the voice of the given recipient, in either the tone appropriate to the postcard, or using an emoticon to suggest another tone.
Lastly, both the sent and received postcards could be used to stimulate a longer piece of either narrative or descriptive writing.
To make the teacher's life easier, the PP provides step by step instructions, the recipe for success gives the teacher tips and the tasks come either on the postcards or as strips. The emoticons can be printed in colour, laminated and used again to add extra challenge to several other tasks.
A set of cards showing eight common emotions: angry, anxious, confused, happy, sad, surprised, tired and worried. Three sets included in download: one with fair skinned faces and captions, one showing a darker skin tone with captions and a third showing all the faces but without captions.
Task cards and graphic organizer for students to practice distinguishing between the three literary devices, as well as identifying the tone of each one. They use the mentor sentences, or sentence frames, to create their own version of the literary device while conveying the tone identified. These task cards can be used as an application activity in pairs or groups; as a timed activity during a stations rotation; or ask exit tickets (without the graphic organizer).

The texts covered are Macbeth, A Christmas Carol and The Lord of the Flies. Each page consists of a number of key words, pertinent textual references, core events, tone, context and symbolism. There are also pages for the Power and Conflict poetry cluster and the Unseen Poetry section of Paper 2. These consist of key words, voice, symbolism, tone, context, pace and setting. Ideas and possible structures for essay responses are included as acronyms and bullet points, as are sentence stems and discourse markers to aid comparison. These cards work well alone or as a short booklet.

I am teaching Year 2 again and I decided to create these arrow cards a lot bigger (better visually) so that the children can easily handle them. Hopefully, they will not get lost so easily ( unlike the small arrow cards). I will be printing table sets for cooperative/collaborative learning. I will cut and laminate them so they can be re-used over and over again. I have included a black and white (with colour arrow tip), a colour version [(green (tens) and red (ones)] and a set with muted tones.
Happy Teaching!
