Clauses: 16 pages/5 Google Forms

I made these after realizing that my students in high school needed practice with the mechanics of how to construct a sentence before I could begin instructing them on best practices for structure in their essays. There are pages for them to practice (on paper) or you can use as a quiz for after instruction! All of the Google quizzes will self-grade and they are editable.

This is the essential Test Prep Bundle for students testing for state or district exams.

They're also adaptable for students who are doing self-directed learning as each includes a short teaching page for students to reference as they are working through the activities.

Reluctant Writers Activity Bundle: Engaging Activities for Writing Intervention

By Betsy Newmeyer

Help your reluctant writers practice their grammar through building and punctuating sentences, expanding sentences with parts of speech, and combining sentences with this activity bundle of 9 printable and digital activities. Ideal for both GenEd and SpEd teachers with struggling and reluctant writers.

Students also begin writing pieces by building word banks in order to tell a short story or write expository and opinion writing pieces. Throughout each of the activities, students communicate their ideas and collaborate with peers while giving and accepting peer feedback during the revision process.

I have used each of these resources with my students over the years. I have found that low-stakes writing activities that include an element of game-like fun and peer collaboration work best. It turns the most reluctant of writers into a writing enthusiast.

Bundle Includes:

  • Sentence Combining Task Cards

  • Expanding Paragraph Practice
  • Picture Writing Prompts with Word Banks
  • Build a Sentence: Comma Rules

*******************************

CONTEXT CLUES is an important skill that students must master in order to improve and enhance their comprehension of texts. When coming across an unknown word, a student can use other words in the text that are usually in the same sentence or nearby sentences that provide clues to the meaning of the unfamiliar word. This skill is especially important for students to apply not only on state exams, but to any text or reading they come across.

This Context Clues Bundle provides a variety of fun opportunities for students to learn how to use context clues to determine the meanings of unknown words as they read.

The bundle includes an in-depth step-by-step lesson plan that carefully guides teachers in showing students “HOW TO” both identify and use different context clues types to figure out the meaning of unknown words. The bundle also includes Reading Passages, PowerPoints, Practice Worksheets, Fun Activities, Task Cards, Assessments, Posters, ANSWER KEYS, and more!

This resource focuses on the following five Context Clues types:

✨ Definition clues

✨ Synonym clues

✨ Antonym clues

✨ Example clues

✨ Inference clues

All PowerPoints, Worksheets, and Posters are visually appealing as they include a variety of fun and realistic graphics, borders, and background paper. Students will be attentive and engaged throughout the entire learning experience!

The PowerPoints cannot be edited due to copyright requirements made by contributing font and clip art artists.
