Animal Farm Ch 9: Eulogy for Boxer's funeral Creative Writing + rubric Google
, Not Grade Specific,
After reading Chapter 9 of Animal Farm, students write a eulogy for Boxer as a short narrative paragraph or a poem, speaking from a farm animal's point of view or, for a greater challenge, one of the pigs. The assignment requires a personal story establishing the writer's relationship to Boxer, his noteworthy traits and values, at least two annotated literary devices, and one integrated quotation from the text. Two model eulogies built on other well-known texts — Shirley Jackson's 'The Lottery' and Poe's 'The Cask of Amontillado' — demonstrate the narrative and poetic formats before students draft their own. A five-criteria rubric scores voice/point of view, personal story and traits, opening and closing statements, literary-device use, and quotation integration.

Animated Poem: I Have an Owie VI
, Not Grade Specific,
A step-by-step animated poem supplies a repeated oral-language frame about feeling hurt and wanting relief. Across successive verses, the missing body-part word and the pictured care item change while the sentence pattern remains stable. The repetition can support prediction, vocabulary recall, and participation in a shared reading. Because the slides mention common care products, the material is described as language content only; no medical effectiveness or treatment recommendation is asserted.

Asking and Answering Questions Worksheet

Asking and Answering Questions structures active listening during a presentation or oral explanation. Students first identify the speaker’s topic, then record a question that helps them gather information or resolve confusion. A paired area captures the answer they receive. The format emphasises that productive listening involves noticing gaps in understanding and seeking clarification rather than passively hearing words. It can also support discussion of relevant questions and complete, topic-connected answers.

Autobiography Worksheet
, Not Grade Specific,
The opening page defines autobiography as writing by an author about their own life and frames it as both reflection and self-discovery. Prompt areas ask for birth information, childhood memories, current enjoyment, an achievement, and a valued personal quality. Learners develop those notes into a short first-person account, with the second page providing continued writing space. The structure supports personal narrative organisation without prescribing any private detail beyond the listed categories.

Foldable pages use solid and dotted guides for creating interactive sections, and repeated story fields keep each organiser usable with a teacher-selected tale. Drawing and writing are both explicitly supported, making the same plot structure accessible across early literacy levels. The resource supplies organisation rather than a predetermined story or completed response.

BED Anchor Chart | Teaching B and D
, Not Grade Specific,
The BED Anchor Chart presents a mnemonic for a common letter reversal. When the word bed is written in order, the tall stem of b appears at the beginning and the tall stem of d appears at the end, with the middle letter forming the mattress-like centre. Learners can recall or gesture the whole word when deciding which letter they see or need to write. The single visual works as a desk reference, wall reminder, or decoding prompt.

Beginning, Middle, and End Worksheet
, Not Grade Specific,
The worksheet is designed for a teacher-read narrative rather than a supplied passage. Learners record the story title, recall what happens at each major stage, and retell the events across beginning, middle, and end sections. The three-part structure helps them preserve chronology while selecting only the important actions. Because the source story remains open, teachers can reuse the organiser with different read-alouds and adjust the writing or drawing expectation.
