I still remember the morning my daughter pushed back from our kitchen table, looked at me with genuine surprise, and said, "Mom, I actually have an idea for this one." It was our third week of starting each school day with a simple writing warm-up, and something had finally clicked. As a homeschool parent, I had been searching for that magic formula to help my reluctant writer find her voice, and honestly, I had almost given up on these short daily exercises. But watching her evolve from someone who stared at blank pages to a confident high schooler who can craft compelling arguments and vivid narratives – well, it reminded me that sometimes the most powerful learning happens in those unassuming 10-minute moments before we dive into our "real" lessons. Because she is heading into her first year of high school, she gave me the idea to create these writing prompts for High School ELA . WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE: Ready-to-use daily warm-ups 66 carefully crafted exercises covering a full academic quarter Grammar, Imaginative writing challenges focusing on speculative and dystopian themes KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Grammar, poetry, vocabulary, and sentence structure analysis Using literary excerpts for enhance critical thinking and textual analysis skills Diverse writing styles to help students/homeschoolers discover their unique voice and style Creative and descriptive writing prompts from dystopian to flash fiction As I reflect on our homeschool path, especially those sometimes challenging middle school years, I have come to understand that consistency trumps complexity every single time. It was not the elaborate unit studies or the impressive final projects that made the biggest difference in my daughter's writing development – though those certainly had their place. Instead, it was showing up each morning with a meaningful prompt, creating that safe space for her to experiment with words and ideas, and celebrating those small victories along the way. Now, as she navigates her ninth-grade year with genuine enthusiasm for writing across all subjects, I am reminded that my role as homeschool educators is not just to teach skills – it is to help our children discover they have important thoughts worth sharing and the tools to express them clearly. If you are in that familiar place of wondering how to bridge the gap between where your teenager is as a writer and where they need to be, these daily practices might just be the gentle, consistent support they need to surprise themselves with their own capabilities. If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina - Big Easy Homeschooling Mom

This droughts reading comprehension with lesson plan includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question and additional facts. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Droughts Genre: Nonfiction (informational text with headings) Subject: Earth Science / Life Science / Reading (Informational Text) Primary Topic: What drought is, types, effects, and tracking Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): Q What This Lesson Teaches Best Defines drought as a stretch of time when a region is drier than normal and can last from days to years. Explains types of drought (meteorological vs. hydrological) and describes what changes in streams, reservoirs, and groundwater. Uses concrete signs/evidence of drought (no puddles, dull grass, cracked ground, animals traveling farther, rivers showing more rocks). Connects history to learning: the Dust Bowl in the 1930s and how it led to soil-saving methods and drought indices. Introduces modern monitoring and responses (rain gauges, river sensors, satellites; fixing leaks, reusing water, collecting rain). Learning Goals Students will define drought using the book’s description and time frames. Students will identify signs of drought described in the passage (e.g., puddles, grass, cracked ground, rivers). Students will explain the difference between meteorological drought and hydrological drought using text evidence. Students will describe what happened during the Dust Bowl and why it mattered for tracking dryness. Students will describe ways droughts are monitored today and one way communities can respond. Key Vocabulary From the Text meteorological — related to weather and rainfall or snow. hydrological — related to water in rivers, reservoirs, and underground. groundwater — water stored under the ground. indices — numbers used to compare and track dryness. evapotranspiration — water moving from land and plants into air.

Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Vegetables Genre: Nonfiction (Informational text) Subject: Science (Life Science: plants, nutrition) / Reading (informational text) Primary Topic: What vegetables are and why they matter Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): N What This Lesson Teaches Best What counts as a vegetable (in this text): Defines vegetables as edible parts of plants people choose to eat, including roots (carrot), leaves (spinach), and flower buds (broccoli). Plant parts and categories: Explains that many vegetables come from soft-stemmed, herbaceous plants rather than woody trees, and that vegetables come in many shapes because plants have many useful parts. Early farming and seed-saving: Describes how people once gathered edible plants from the wild, then began planting and saving seeds (about 10,000–7,000 BC), keeping and sharing plants that tasted better or grew bigger. Science vs. everyday language (tomato debate): Contrasts the botanical definition of “fruit” (seed-bearing part formed from a flower’s ovary) with how “vegetable” often means a savory plant food served with meals, noting a U.S. court decision in 1893 calling tomatoes vegetables for a tax rule. Nutrition and food preservation: States vegetables are usually low in fat and calories, filling because they bring water and fiber, and may contain vitamins/minerals (examples include vitamin A and vitamin C); also notes chilling, freezing, or canning to keep vegetables longer. Learning Goals Students will define a vegetable using examples from the text (root, leaf, bud). Students will describe where many vegetables come from (soft-stemmed, herbaceous plants) and explain what that means. Students will explain how seed-saving helped wild plants become “garden favorites,” using details from the passage. Students will compare the botanical meaning of fruit with the cooking meaning of vegetable, using the tomato example. Students will identify two reasons vegetables can be filling and healthy (water, fiber, vitamins/minerals) based on the text. Key Vocabulary From the Text edible — safe and good to eat. herbaceous — soft-stemmed; not woody. botanists — scientists who study plants. ovary — flower part that can form fruit. fiber — nutrient that helps you feel full.

Unleash the fascinating world of data science and statistics for children with "Data Science Fundamentals for Kids - Statistics" by Syed Hammad Rizvi. Featuring a detailed 370-page course manual tailored specifically for students from grades 5-12, this invaluable resource simplifies complicated concepts into a series of fun and easy-to-master tutorials. Starting with introductory elements of data types and sources and progressing all the way from advanced concepts of probability studies to visual representation techniques of pictographs, bar graphs, line graphs, pie charts, histograms, and box plots, measures of central tendency of mean, median, and mode statistics, dispersion of range, quartiles, and interquartile range, sampling techniques with simple and stratified sampling methods, concepts of correlation and causality, responsible uses of statistics and ethics in statistics studies, and applied examples of AI and big data statistics analysis, this statistics guide for kids helps instill crucial STEM knowledge for their. Perfect for homeschooling students, this statistics guide for kids also makes for a stellar choice for teachers and scholars seeking resources for statistics learning for children, guidebooks for beginner-level analysis of statistics and frequency analysis for students, books for kids related to STEM information, and resources for probability tutorials for middle school Why Parents/Schools Love It: Engaging and Age-Appropriate Content: Makes use of interesting stories and engaging examples to ease kids into otherwise frightening subject matter involving statistics, thereby giving kids a confidence boost in STEM fields. Comprehensive Skill Building: Encompasses all aspects of analysis from data acquisition to ethical analysis. Aiding students for future AI/data science employment purposes as well as for test preparation. Hands-On Tools/Projects: Includes guides with specific steps for creating illustrations for graphs, calculations for measures of variation, and completion of mini-projects. Encourages Critical Thinking: Teaching the importance of being unbiased, the difference between correlation and causation, and responsible data use helps prepare individuals for the data-intensive world that is the future of business and society. Flexible for Any Learning Style: Can be used for individual study, teaching groups, or supplementing a curriculum, with examples that show statistical principles in sports, games, and real life. Target Grades : Based on the complete analysis of the content, structure, and progression of the book-from very foundational concepts such as "What is Data?" and some simple tally marks in early chapters to more advanced ones like interquartile range, probability laws, sampling bias, correlation scatter plots, and ethical AI implications in later chapters-I believe the book addresses students from grades 5 through 12 most appropriately. The material progresses from simple, kid-friendly explanations using real-life analogies-such as recipes for data organization-to more sophisticated ideas, such as data skewness and mini data projects. As such, it is well-suited for middle schoolers, grades 5-8, who need to study visualization and averages, while high schoolers, grades 9-12, will appreciate the subjects of inference, causation, and what the future of technology holds based on these subjects. It is neither too simplistic for older children nor too advanced for younger ones, and the logic of progression allows for progressive learning.

This United Nations reading comprehension with lesson plan includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well.

Let’s be real: finding science curriculum for a ninth grader that is not fluff feels like a full-time job. Once we hit the high school years, the "nature study" phase is over, and suddenly we are staring down the barrel of complex theories and massive textbooks. I built this unit because I was tired of "busy work" packets. I wanted my own daughter to see that science isn't just a list of facts to memorize—it is a messy, fascinating debate that is still happening right now. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: Keystone Paradigm Text 30-Year Population Data MacNulty Science Challenge Complete Grading Suite TOPICS COVERED: Trophic Cascade Mechanics Ecosystem Engineering Abiotic vs. Biotic Factors Scientific Model Critiques I will never forget the morning she finally sat at the table, nose deep in the MacNulty critique, and the "aha!" moment hit. Watching her connect the dots on how a wolf can actually shift the course of a river... that is the spark we’re all chasing, right? I designed this to give your student/homeschooler that same intellectual respect while giving you a breather. It is rigorous, it’s deep, and most importantly, it is ready to go. I hope it brings some incredible "lightbulb moments" and lively debates to your house, too. If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina - Big Easy Homeschooling Mom
