Where the Red Fern Grows Novel Study and Supporting Materials. All kinds of resources to use when teaching the novel Where the Red Fern Grows. Included are chapter by chapter fill-in-the-blank questions (with answer keys) for review of the chapters, as well as multiple choice comprehension questions, vocabulary, quizzes, tests, and activities. I have my students keep a table of contents in their notebook, and do the activities in chapter order. Enjoy.

This is a unit that can stand alone as a "mini-unit" or supplement your current poetry unit.

Lessons combine the elements of close reading with poetry, literary analysis, and free verse writing.Included: • Teacher Resource Guide aligned to CCSS • 13 poems with printable worksheets and answer keys. • Sample lesson plans • Writing Enrichment activities • Rigorous mini-lessons to teach simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole with accompanying worksheets.

This Common Core Aligned Literature Unit is designed for 6th grade, but could be used at multiple grade levels. It includes vocabulary, comprehension, informational text analysis, writing, and literary analysis and is aligned to the history curriculum in 6th grade.

Using stories and Animated Tales based on oral stories from the Middle East and India children discover the first story ever written down, that dialogue poems are a popular text form in the Gulf and how a collection of stories can be written within a frame story.

Continuation of blog started in September 2011. As a practising theist, who tries to respond to all the ups and downs of life from a spiritual perspective, I feel that my life experiences may be a useful resource. Some have been kind enough to encourage me with this. A few people tell me that they read it regularly, so for them and any other casual readers I continue. The one on 29th and 30th includes 2 photos of the kitties aged 4 weeks best wishes and love to all DMC

Valentines Day today, but the first blog is just to catch up a bit. My computer is ill so I could only write on paper for a few days, 13th = background info about me and my hubbie, + when we went to Paris Disney last year to celebrate my mother-in-law's 90th birthday. 15th is mostly about Valentine's day, love and relationships in general - mostly me and my hubbie. I was asked to prepare a Biography for something else - but I thought it might interest my blog-readers. Sorry for blog-gaps. My laptop died and I have little access to a computer.
