Use this bundle of graphic organizers to reinforce the reading standards that are already being taught in your class. My students are always reading an independent novel. While reading, I want them to transfer the skills I model and use with our mentor text to their Independent Reading. These graphic organizers are perfect for that! My favorite way to use them is to set up a doc cam and model how an organizer should be filled out (possible answers, text citation, etc). Then I ask the students to fill one out for their Independent Reading. Works like a charm! Included: -Brief Teacher Directions -20 Graphic Organizers covering a wide-range of reading skills. **Perfect for middle and high school grades.

This listing includes 10 weeks of bell ringers that will help your students practice the four basic sentence types: Simple, Compound, Complex, and Compound-Complex as well as dialogue, author/text references, subject-verb agreement, and possessive apostrophes. Why use mentor sentences? We’ve all done it. We write a horribly constructed sentence and then ask students to fix the mistakes. This works if students know what good writing looks like, but many of my students do not know what good writing looks like, so I have made it my mission to show them. Now, instead of working with incorrect sentences, my students read properly written sentences, “notice” or make observations about those sentences, imitate the sentences, and then find examples in their own reading. Over the last two years, my students have become better writers and better readers. **The great thing about purchasing now is that this is a growing bundle. I have over 20 weeks of bellringers planned. As I add new sets, you'll receive them at no extra charge (just check your 'purchase' page on TPT). Here's what I have in the works: Commas Appositive phrases Items in a list dates it’s vs. its who’s vs. whose affect vs. effect there vs. they’re vs. their parallel structure pronoun antecedent gerunds And more!! **Each week has a cover page and then daily assignments to guide them through the different sentence types. This will make your bell ringer process easy and create routine and structure. Grab these bell ringers now and lock them in for a great price! Over 45 pages already included.

Have you ever searched for a student-friendly version of a speech only to find that you need to reformat it yourself? You copy and paste, but the formatting is wonky and definitely not student-friendly? I know I've done this countless times, so I finally sat down and spent some time formatting these speeches into a handout that works for my students. I've included space on the left for signals, paragraph-marking, etc, and even more space on the rights for annotation, note-taking and reflection. **Speeches included** Patrick Henry: Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death George Washington: First Inaugural Address Frederick Douglass: The Hypocrisy of American Slavery Abraham Lincoln: Gettysburg Address Franklin Delano Roosevelt: First Inaugural Address Richard Nixon: Checkers John F. Kennedy: First Inaugural Address Martin Luther King Jr.: I Have a Dream Ronald Regan: Tear Down This Wall Malcolm X: The Battle or the Bullet Lyndon B. Johson: We Shall Overcome Bill Clinton: First Inaugural Address Michelle Obama: On Donald Trump Steve Jobs: Commencement Speech George W. Bush: 9/11 Address to the Nation Barack Obama: First Inaugural Address Malala Yousafzai: Worldwide Access to Education Oprah Winfrey: Stanford Commencement Speech Ceasar Chavez: On the Perils of Pesticides Mario Cuomo: 1984 DNC Keynote William Faulkner: Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Richard Nixon: Resignation Mary Church Terrell: What It Means to be Colored Elie Wiesel: The Perils of Indifference Bill Gates: Harvard Commencement Speech Lou Gehrig: Farewell to Baseball Vince Lombardi: What it Takes to be Great Jim Valvano: ESPY Awards Speech The Declaration of Independence **What You'll Get** -Over 250 pages of formatted American speeches
