Reading Comprehension - Spiders - Creepy Crawlies or Masterpieces?
Animals, Life Sciences, Science, Insects, Research, Reading, ELA, Reading Comprehension, Middle School, High School, Elementary, Homeschool Resources, Writing Prompts, Worksheets & Printables, Projects, Activities
Spiders, scientifically known as "arachnids," are fascinating to many people, especially kids. And there are so many different kinds. I learned a lot while creating this reading comprehension activities pack. Kids will read the article (link provided to the article inside product) and answer the questions. Many of the questions are fill in the blank, some are multiple choice, some true/false. There are also multiple essay question, writing prompts. And a bonus section for motivated students to look at what the Bible says about living things. Students will be given the opportunity to choose which side they are on regarding evolution vs creation, without judgment. They will be required to research and support the side they choose in their essays. Answer keys are included for the objective questions. The product is simple: 31 questions, including multiple choice, true/false, plus two short writing prompt type questions, one of which is partly subjective, but requires a thoughtful answer. Extra credit questions are included. 33 vocabulary words - can be used to increase student comprehension, increase scientific vocabulary, and can be used for alphabetizing and/or spelling tests. 8 Bible verse references - Bible as literature is an allowed subject in the public schools. Also, just looking up verses and drawing your own conclusions should align with standards. This activity is optional, of course. One bonus activity for students to write their thoughts on the 8 Bible verses. Two essay questions, one considered a "challenge." Can be used for extra motivated students or students who are trying to improve their grade. Of course, any writing a student does will build your writing fluency, especially when writing is done in a variety of fields, including, science, history, literature, etc. Answer keys for objective questions. My products are never grade specific, because students are at different levels even when they are at he same grade level in school. Probably 4th through high school would be the most appropriate. Product is downloadable, printable pdf.

Mo Willems is the author of the Pigeon book series. The books contain large amounts of vocabulary designed for k-2nd graders. However, the pictures are so simple and adorable, they can be enjoyed by people of all ages. I adore this series so much that i have collected all of them despite that my son is almost 20 years old. As a result, I created the first of what I hope to be a series of reading comprehension and guided reading activity packs to make learning more fun for early elementary students as well as special education students and those with special needs in the areas of speech and communication. The book, "Don't Let the Pigeon Stay up Late," is required reading in order for students to complete all of the activities. It is available for purchase at Amazon and at Mo Willems own website. You can also find it at your local library to check out. Students will practice reading and learn about grammar, spelling, and increase vocabulary. Activities include: Open-ended questions, writing prompts, based on the text in the book. Sight word recognition activities 32 Spelling Words 32 Vocabulary Words Alphabetization Fill-in-the-Blank Drawing And More Students will be given the opportunity to search for: 14 CVC words found in the book 14 nouns found in the book 18 sight words found in the book Great for: Reading Centers Literature Centers Guided Reading Read aloud activities Practicing Social and Emotional Skills Pigeon books are written so that the reader is directly being spoken to by the Pigeon. Such fun books! Answer key is included, pdf downloadable, printable file. 15 pages Table of contents is included. Links for further activities beyond this guided reading project are also included.

Flash Fiction: 24 Creative Writing Prompts for Students
ELA, Writing, Creative Writing, Grade 6, 7, 8, Writing Prompts, Worksheets & Printables
Flash Fiction: 24 Creative Writing Prompts for Students is a slideshow designed for students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades and includes 24 Flash Fiction Prompts as well as a slide explaining what Flash Fiction is with links to examples, and directions for the students. This slide show is perfect for writing warm-ups, Do Nows, a Creative Writing elective, a Creative Writing unit, or daily practice. The purpose of this slideshow is for students to develop a writing practice in which they write quickly for a short period of time. The goal is to create one or more very short stories of 1000 words or less. Students can choose to write to as many or as few of the slides as they would like over time or they can choose to take one of their Flash Fiction stories and develop it with the idea being that their story will be 1000 words or less. How I use it: I share 3 slides with my students each time we write. I go over each slide first. Over the course of 20-25 minutes, they write to one, two, or all 3 of the slides of their choice. They have 20-25 minutes to write. The next time we write, I include the original 3 and I add 1 or 2 more slides. Eventually, they will see the whole slideshow. Every few days, instead of writing, students break into small groups and choose one of their stories to share with their group members for feedback. Over time, they will have many very short stories or beginnings of stories that they can develop. Students enjoy writing this way--it’s low pressure, it’s dynamic, they have a choice, and it’s fun. I have produced a number of Creative Writing Slide Shows that you might be interested in The Setting Sets the Mood: How to Write Effective Settings 24 Creative Writing Prompts to Inspire Your Students 24 Additional Creative Writing Prompts to Inspire Your Students Characterization: What It Is and How to Develop It Writing with Suspense: A Google Slideshow

Weekly Science Syllabus Doodle Notes

Are you ready to breathe new life into your science lessons? T hese Weekly Science Syllabus Doodle Notes were born out of my own frustration as a homeschool mom trying to juggle curriculum planning while keeping my kids actually interested in science. Trust me, I have spent countless late nights staring at bland planning sheets thinking, "There has to be a better way!" After one too many uninspiring science lessons, I created these templates that have completely transformed how we approach science in our homeschool. These are not just another pretty printable—they are the answer to that moment when you realize your kiddo has retained exactly zero information from last week's lesson on photosynthesis! I have designed them to be your visual playground, where mapping out experiments and research activities becomes something you and your students/homeschoolers actually look forward to. My own teenage daughter went from groaning about science to pointing at their doodle notes saying, "Remember when we did that cool experiment?" The secret sauce? These notes engage both the logical and creative sides of your brain, which means those scientific concepts finally stick—no more blank stares when you ask, "Remember what we learned last Tuesday?" These have been a game-changer in our homeschool, and I can't wait for them to transform yours too! INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: ✔Comprehensive weekly science planning template with visually engaging design ✔Designated spaces for scientific learning objectives, content focus, and instructor information ✔Daily sections for documenting science classwork, lab activities, quizzes, and attendance ✔Specialized reading assignment sections for scientific texts and research articles ✔Homework planning areas with website research recommendations and writing prompts ✔Visual note-taking spaces that connect scientific concepts with creative representation ✔Structured organization that accommodates the unique needs of science instruction Sunday nights used to be my nightmare—frantically scrambling to plan science lessons while dreading the glazed-over looks I would get from my teenager the next day. Sound familiar? Those days are OVER! With these Weekly Science Syllabus Doodle Notes , I have actually caught myself looking forward to planning time (weird, right?). Let me tell you, juggling high school science with a creative teen who'd rather be doing anything else pushed me to my breaking point. My kitchen table was buried under boring worksheets that neither of us was excited about. That is when I decided to create these templates—not because I am some super-organized homeschool mom (ha!), but because I desperately needed something that would work for both my planning sanity AND my visually-oriented teenager. The magic happens when organization meets creativity! Now my daughter can actually see what is coming each week, and those complex scientific concepts finally stick because the visual elements speak her language. I still cannot believe how much easier our science days flow now! Seriously, grab these today—your future bleary-eyed, lesson-planning self will high-five you when you realize science class has transformed from a battle to the highlight of your homeschool week! If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina - Big Easy Homeschooling Mom Website: tidewindacademyhomeschool.com
