Do you want your kiddos to REALLY learn verbs?I am sure you do. This Verb Charades game is a fun, easy and interactive way to reinforce or introduce the concept of verbs! Using Verb Charades and acting out the verbs will support children in understanding that if you can do it, then it is an action verb! Easy to set up and combineslearning and fun which is a winning combination! The directions are similar to the good old game of Charades except you are simplyacting out a verb or verb phrase. My class and I created this game one day when we were learning about verbs. I always enjoy hearing what ideas the class will come up with when you present them with a challenge. Ever since this was created about 10 years ago, my students have LOVED playing it. Some Ideas for USE: You canglue the pictures onto a colored popsicle stick or simply place them in a basket, box or jar. I usually placed the cards on sticksface down in a plastic jar with the sign attached to the front of the jar and kept it by my easel for easy access and it was always a great game to give a sub for a filler. The children alsoenjoyed playing it at Indoor Recess and if they had a choice activity,they would play this in small groups or with a partner! The directionsare similar to the good old game of Charadesexcept you aresimply acting out a verb or verb phrase One child picks from the jar figures out what the picture and word shows, let’s you see it for proof and then acts it out for the class. Theclass gets 3 guesses.Whoever gets it correct, is the next person to act out the verb. Ifno one guesses it, I use my picking sticks, which have the student’s names on them, to randomly choose the next person to act it out! I hope your class enjoys this games as much as mine have! Here is What is Included: 13 Cards with 6 verb images or pictures and words that contain verbs or verb phrases on each card for a total of 78 cards. 2 Different signs for the box or basket to label for storage. Here are some other ways to use this game/resource: Put a selected number of cards in a paper bag and have students pick one out and write a sentences for that word and draw a picture to go with it. Use it in a writing center as described above and pick 5 or more words. Then write sentences to go along with the action words. Have students pick a word and describe the action without naming it and use clues to see if other class members can guess the action. Example: This is something you do when you play baseball. OR have the other students ask the cardholder questions that are answered with YES OR NO. Example: Is it something everyone does? Is it fun to do? This would be great for a Morning Meeting activity. Super for English Language learners to learn vocabulary. I hope your class enjoys this games as much as mine have! ENJOY! Thanks for purchasing, downloading or browsing! I hope this adds a little sunshine to your day!

No Prep Mock Trial Law Lesson
Social Studies, History, Law, Grade 9, 10, 11, 12, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
This complete, ready-to-go lesson is a fun debating activity for ESL, English or Law students. It has a simple design with clear lesson plans , an easy-to-follow PPT and is quick and ready to go. It works on students' ability to research a topic and analyze a situation, helps improve speaking skills and confidence and also improves knowledge of judicial systems and courtroom norms. The lesson begins with a vocabulary warm up. The students then get a chance to work together to do some research. They work together to formulate ideas, brainstorm and identify their opinions on the moral ins and outs of the case. They then get the opportunity to do a mock trial of a particular case that has been chosen for its ability to provoke debate and interest. The PPT I provide is based on a class that is vaguely divisible by 8, but I have provided some editable slides if you need to change the numbers. You can add or subtract Jury members to make the numbers work for any number of students. . Itis based around a fascinating case in the UK. In the 1950's, two teenagers, Derek Bently and Christopher Craig were in the process of robbing a house when the police arrived and an officer apprehended Bentley. Craig brought out a gun he was carrying. The police officer, Fred Fairfax, said "Don't do anything silly, lad. Just give me the gun", and Bentley shouted the ambiguous phrase "Let him have it". Craig shot Fairfax in the shoulder and killed another office with a bullet to the head. The case went to trial, and due to Craig being under he received only 10 years in prison, while Bentley was sentenced to be hanged. I've used this lesson a few times and it's always worked out really well. There are loads of areas of interest that can be brought up: - what exactly did Bentley mean by "let him have it"? - one being over 18 and therefore the legal minimum age to be sentenced to the death penalty, and the other being under 18 - It was claimed by the defense that Bentley suffered from serious mental illness - Bentley didn't shoot or kill anybody, so is he complicit in the killing? - and plenty of other issues that the students always bring up It's an intriguing case and one that naturally brings out strong debate. Students are each assigned a role and take part in a mock trial. Students take the roles of: Judge Prosecution Lawyer Defense Lawyer Witness - police officer Christopher Craig David Bentley Jury Members While I would be the first to admit that this product is not as visually appealing as my other content, I have reflected that in the lower price and I believe it is still a great lesson plan. i hope that it worked well for you! Let me know how it went!

Cultivate a Growth Mindset in your class with thesehigh-qualitymotivational & inspirational posters. Perfect for high school & adult students. Looks great on any classroom wall! Includes Lesson Plan that highlights activities & strategies to introduce Growth Mindset thinking to your students. "A person with a fixed mindset believes that his or her intelligence is static, while a person with a growth mindset believes that his or her intelligence can be developed. The latter group is thus more likely to embrace challenges, persist in the face of setbacks, and see effort as a natural path to mastery. The distinction between these two extremes has tremendous implications for motivation, productivity, and confidence; in the pursuit of success, mindset is everything." The benefits of fostering a growth mindset in a classroom are multiple, and can truly have lasting effects on your students. Yeats said that education was "not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire". Utilizing a growth mindset is giving the students the kindling and a box of matches so that they blaze a path to success for their lives. Lesson plans gives you various ideas of how to use the posters (of course, you can just put them on the wall if you're just looking to inspire students) and there is a PPT containing all the quotes and posters, so that you can go through them together as a class!
