SM Blend Find and Colour Phonics Worksheet to Develop Phonemic
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Phonics, Kindergarten, Preschool, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
This SM fun, Find and Color worksheet for initial blends is excellent for acquainting children orally with initial consonant blends and helping them develop the necessary phonemic awareness in preparation for more advanced blending work, involving four phonemes. What is included in the pack? One PDF sheet for the SM blend. This is a sample of our pack of 20 activities covering common initial blends which can be found here in one PDF file: less clutter on your computer! What do the worksheets involve? Pupils are instructed to combine the two letters on the worksheet and then look for objects that start with that consonant blend. Then, these items ought to be coloured, leaving the others uncoloured. Children can easily work on the sheet unaided once they have been instructed, although, with those children with special needs, it is strongly suggested that an adult works with the child for maximum benefit. How to use The introduction of the concept of initial blends needs to be done thoroughly. When I work with children, especially those with a special need, I first like to teach children to blend two consonant letters. Then I work on developing the children's phonemic awareness: that being the ability to hear two consonant letters blended at the beginning of a word, easily. This is difficult for some pupils and takes a lot of practice. These worksheets can assist by first encouraging students to blend the two consonant letters and then by helping them to hear the blend at the start of a word. As often as you can, practice blending the letters in each initial blend and encourage the students to follow suit. I find that modelling is key at this stage. Who are the initial blends Find and colour worksheets for? Young learners Those with a special need Due to their non-babyish nature , they can be successfully used with older ESL/EFL pupils. Answer keys: The answer key is included on the sheet, in small print.

Twelfth Night incorporates many classic elements of comedic theater. At the core of its structure lies a network of complex romantic liaisons (Orsino loves Olivia, Olivia is smitten with Cesario and later Sebastian, Viola has feelings for Orsino, while Sir Andrew and Malvolio are attracted to Olivia); disguise (the plot centers around Viola disguising herself as a male servant to survive after being shipwrecked in Illyria); mistaken identities (Viola and Sebastian are twins so alike that nobody can tell them apart); trickery and mischief; a rich offering of song and dance; the satire of hypocrisy, excess, and arrogance; a fleeting period of chaos and confusion; concluding with a resolution where all misunderstandings are resolved and three marriages take place. This ebook features an extensive lesson plan focused on 'Twelfth Night' and includes multiple activities intended to last at least 90 minutes.

Lesson Plan on 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'
Drama, Creative Arts, Literature, ELA, Elementary, Middle School, High School, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets & Printables
Love in its many forms is the most important theme in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The romantic encounters and subsequent confusions are the greatest cause of conflict in the play. The play gives us variations on the theme of love – idyllic young love in the case of Hermia and Lysander; passionate and possessive love between Titania and Oberon; love lost and found again as with Helena and Demetrius; love as conquest as in the case of Theseus and Hippolyta. Shakespeare makes a point of infusing A Midsummer Night’s Dream with more than just a two-dimensional notion of romantic love – he shows us the darker side where we see love’s inconstancy, its violence, its possessiveness, and its illusory nature. This lesson plan is designed specifically for Shakespeare's classic comedy. It lasts approximately 90 minutes (depending on the class size) and has activities for all types of learners. The photocopiable student sheet with the activities is included, as well as a separate sheet with the answers.

Edgar A. Poe & Stephen King: Gothic vs. Modern Horror Reading Passage
ELA, Literature, Reading, Writing, Research, Resources for Teachers, High School, Homeschool Resources, Teacher Tools, Assessments, Quizzes and Tests, Lesson Plans, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts
As a homeschool mom navigating the world of high school literature with my ninth-grade daughter, I understand the challenge of finding resources that truly engage teens while building critical thinking skills. This Edgar Allan Poe & Stephen King: Gothic vs Modern Horror Reading Passage, Q & A, and 5 Note-Taking Sheets is a comprehensive teaching resource transforms the study of horror literature into an exciting exploration of how two master storytellers — Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King — have shaped our understanding of fear across different eras. When my daughter first read The Tell-Tale Heart , she was captivated by Poe's psychological intensity, but it was not until we compared it to Stephen King's modern approach that she truly grasped how literature evolves while maintaining timeless themes. This Edgar Allan Poe & Stephen King: Gothic vs Modern Horror Reading Passage, Q & A, and 5 Note-Taking Sheets resource bridges that gap, helping students/homeschoolers understand not just what these authors wrote, but why their techniques remain so powerfully effective today. The beauty of this comparison lies in how it makes classic Gothic literature accessible through the lens of contemporary horror that students/homeschoolers already recognize and appreciate. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: Comprehensive 4-page reading passage comparing Gothic and modern horror techniques 20 thought-provoking critical analysis passage questions A detailed answer key with guided answers for easy grading 5 note-taking sheets designed for different learning styles and approaches TOPICS COVERED: Psychological horror techniques and unreliable narrators in both Gothic and modern contexts Environmental symbolism and how physical settings reflect character psychology Evolution of horror themes from 19th-century Gothic to contemporary suburban fears Comparative analysis of how isolation, obsession, and evil function across different literary periods What I love most about this Edgar Allan Poe & Stephen King: Gothic vs Modern Horror Reading Passage, Q & A, and 5 Note-Taking Sheets is how it sets up our high schoolers/homeschoolers for the kind of thinking they will need in college — without making them feel overwhelmed right now. I have watched my daughter grow from someone who used to skim through reading assignments to a homeschooler who actually gets excited about discussing why certain scenes give her chills. The analytical skills she has developed through comparing these two masters of horror have carried over into every other subject we tackle. When she encounters complex texts in college, she will not be starting from scratch — she will already know how to dig deeper, ask the right questions, and make connections between different time periods and writing styles. That is the real gift we can give our kids: not just knowledge, but the confidence to think critically about whatever they encounter next.

Lesson Plan on 'The Great Gatsby'
Creative Arts, Literature, ELA, Reading, Elementary, High School, Middle School, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets & Printables
While The Great Gatsby provides an in-depth portrayal of American culture during the Roaring Twenties, its storyline mirrors one told many times before, potentially as old as the country itself: a man rises from destitution to wealth, only to find that his fortune does not afford him the privileges enjoyed by those born into their elite status. The central character is Jay Gatsby, a wealthy New Yorker whose occupation is vague. Gatsby is primarily known for the lavish parties he throws each weekend at his opulent Gothic mansion in West Egg. He is thought to be linked to illegal bootlegging and several criminal activities. The storyteller, Nick Carraway, resides next to Gatsby in West Egg. This lesson plan for The Great Gatsby is designed to last approximately 90 minutes. The student activities vary and are presented in a separate worksheet. In the end, the answer key for the assignments is given separately at the end of the lesson plan.
