Kids will LOVE these independent The Wild Robot STEM / STEAM Building Challenge Task Cards based on book The Wild Robot, by Peter Brown. Pair these problem solving cards with the no-prep STEAM / STEM or sequencing worksheets, include them in your Makerspace, morning tubs, centers, as a reward, or as an activity for early finishers. Perfect for classrooms, homeschool, and even parents looking for fun, adventure filled activities for their children.

The Wild Robot Building Brick Challenge has 18 unique challenges created to follow the storyline in the order of the events as they happened.

What’s included in the 26 page download:

• 3 pages of 18 unique Full Color Challenge Task Cards
• 2 STEAM / STEM Worksheets in full color for early and upper elementary
• 5 Sequencing Worksheets in full color for the 18 challenges
• Instructions Page
• Terms of Use, Credits
• Black and White copies of the task cards, STEM / STEAM, and Sequencing Worksheets

How can you use these task cards?

⭐Build all the task cards in one sitting. This typically takes 1 – 2 hours to complete the set.

⭐Have the task cards available in makerspaces, centers, tubs, busy boxes, morning baskets, or available for early finishers to complete using any available materials. Students can even draw their creations instead of building them.

⭐Use one card a day during morning time. Have students fill out a STEAM / STEM worksheet with some of the challenges that require more problem solving and creativity.

⭐Practice sequencing by having students do several cards at a time, and then draw pictures of what they built (or the scenarios on the task cards) in the sequencing boxes.

⭐Use them for public speaking practice. Allow students to build as many cards as predetermined, and then show and tell with the class or their parents. They can discuss what they made, liked, what they would improve, and how it solved the problem on the task cards. They can practice speaking and listening skills, using loud and clear voices, and giving full attention to the speaker. Encourage students to ask questions to their classmates.

Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?

I love silly stories that bring humor and adventure to life for kids, but that also force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose wacky stories where they are the main character. Silly scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving, and learning, are all part of the experience when completing these challenges.

The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!

**Please note that while the intent is for these to be independent, early readers may need some assistance in reading the cards.**

This syllabus is for a course on African-American Literature. The year-long course features literary texts by some of the best African-American novelists, playwrights, and poets: Frederick Douglass, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Lorraine Hansberry, Toni Morrison, and more.

The curriculum is organized chronologically and was designed to highlight several important African-American literary and cultural movements: slave narratives, the Harlem Renaissance, Civil Rights Literature, Black Arts Poetry, etc. The curriculum is deliberately diverse in its representation of gender and brings an intersectional approach to the study of literary characters.

In addition, the curriculum features works by African-American authors written in a wide range of literary genres: novels, memoirs, plays, and poems. The daily lesson plans equip students with the terminologies and techniques for analyzing texts written in those different genres.

The units for each book listed on the syllabus can be found via the links below:

• Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass (1845)

• Langston Hughes, Selected Poetry

• Nella Larsen, Passing (1929)

• Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God (1938)

• Gwendolyn Brooks, Selected Poetry

• Lorraine Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun (1959)

• Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye (1972)

• Octavia Butler, Kindred (1979)

• Writing Analytical Papers

Rigorous Resources your one-stop shop for top-quality teaching resources on complex literature by diverse authors. Each unit was created by a Ph.D. in English who has taught for 20+ years and published award-winning essays on American literature.

Because this syllabus fully editable, you'll be able to customize this syllabus to suit your own literary tastes and/or the skill levels of your students — year after year! If you have any questions about the syllabus or any of the unit plans, please don't hesitate to get in touch via the email address below. I'm eager to do everything I can to make sure you have an amazing experience with teaching African-American Literature!

Finally, this syllabus will always be free — so please don't hesitate to share the link with your colleagues. If you'd be willing to leave a brief review, I'd be sincerely grateful for your support. I love hearing from the amazing teachers who share a passion for great literature!

Struggling to engage young learners? Look no further than St. Patrick's Day! This festive holiday isn't just about shamrocks and leprechauns; it's a treasure trove for building essential language skills like rhyming. Here's why incorporating St. Patrick's Day rhymes into your lesson plan is pure gold:

Unlock a World of Words: Rhyming isn't just fun, it's fundamental! By matching sounds at the end of words (like "green" and "seen"), students expand their vocabulary and strengthen memory. This paves the way for smoother reading and writing, opening doors to a world of communication.

St. Paddy's Day Power-Up: Rhyming with a festive twist! Learning becomes a joyful adventure when it's filled with shamrocks, leprechauns, and pots of gold. Thematic rhymes keep students engaged and excited, making them eager to participate and learn.

Activities Galore! Rhyming goes beyond worksheets! Incorporate St. Patrick's Day rhymes into various activities to solidify learning. Here are some ideas:

• Poetry Workshops: Craft silly limericks or festive poems with these fun rhymes, fostering creativity and a love for language.
• Shamrock Shuffle Word Games: Play rhyming games like "I Spy" or "Go Fish" using St. Patrick's Day words to keep things lively and interactive.
• Sing Your Heart Out: Learning rhymes becomes a sing-along with catchy songs filled with St. Patrick's Day words. It's a fun way to practice pronunciation and build phonemic awareness – the ability to hear and identify sounds in words.

The Final Rainbow: With St. Patrick's Day rhymes, students gain fluency, build phonemic awareness, and solidify literacy skills in a fun and engaging way. It's the perfect springboard to set them on a path of reading and writing success!
