A map with live links on how to prepare young students for literacy and interacting with others!
Students create a theme park for the novel “Where the Red Fern Grows" using Makerspace. OR Students create a comic book that describes all of the sequential plot elements of the story. OR Students create a test using Quizlet or Kahoot that explores all the story elements.
After reading a work of literature as a class, students will brainstorm "crimes" committed by characters from that text. Groups of students will work together to act as the prosecution or defense for the selected characters, while also acting as the jury for other groups. Students will use several sources to research for their case, including the novel and internet resources. All the while, students will be writing a persuasive piece to complement their trial work.
While this lesson uses Shakespeare's The Tempest, there are several other text options. Handouts (except for the model case handout) are generic so that they can be used with any text.
Students can map out the key literary elements of character, setting, conflict, and resolution as prewriting for their own fiction or as analysis of a text by another author in this secondary-level interactive.
Literary Graffiti, a high school version of the Doodle Splash student interactive, also aims to teach students to visualize what they are reading to help them develop as readers.
This lesson asks students to analyze the features of a poetŐs work then create their own poems based on the original model.
This lesson leads students to reflect on and respond to literature by creating an online scrapbook. Students view a sample electronic scrapbook and use the project rubric to evaluate it, becoming familiar with the project requirements in the process. They use an online tool to evaluate resources on a topic related to a piece of literature and post their evaluations for class reference. Students then use online resources to capture ŕscrapsĚŇ of information about their assigned topic and create a scrapbook using PowerPoint or another presentation software, making sure to cite all their sources. They share their online scrapbook with the class, defending their choice of scrapbook entries: why is the entry important to the understanding of the topic?
This lesson focuses on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, but any piece of literature could be used for the basis of an online scrapbook.
Capture studentsŐ enthusiasm for film and transfer it to reading and literature by substituting film production roles for the traditional literature circle roles.
Students practice different ways of collaborating to read a work of literature. They work in different roles as they compose and answer questions, discover new vocabulary, and examine literary elements.
For my artifact, I incorporated literature circles into the reading of the novel, Lord
of the Flies. The first step in this process was to introduce the roles to the students and
to explain what was expected of them. Then, I split the students into their groups of four
using a random group generator (groups can be adjusted based on numbers, but four
worked best in my class). Once students knew what was expected of them, they talked
with their group members to determine who was doing what role for the first two
chapters. From there, we would read two chapters and I would allow the students time
to complete their role sheet (I also encouraged them to do this as they were reading
along, especially for quotes and vocab) and then they would meet with their group to
share their role with the other members. As the teacher, I would circulate between the
groups while they were sharing to listen to them and to provide any input/clarifications.
We would then repeat this process after each two chapters (there are 12 chapters in
total in the novel).
Includes organizers to: interpret, examine themes, make inferences, summarize and analyze.
Grades 5 to 8.
Students use text sets to research a topic inspired by a fiction book they have read. A text set is a collection of multiple text genres with a single focus.
In the early 20th century United States, big melodramatic productions were on Broadway, and everywhere across the country. Which inevitably led to an Avant-Garde backlash. An interesting part of the backlash was Little Theater, a movement that embraced smaller, more emotional, and less profitable forms of drama. One of Little Theater's most notable practitioners, Eugene O'Neill changed the theatrical landscape with groundbreaking plays like The Iceman Cometh and Long Day's Journey into Night.
Jeux et scénarios en littératie financière
Établir un budget, prioriser ses dépenses, épargner son argent et vivre selon ses moyens sont toutes des connaissances et des compétences qu’englobe la littératie financière. Une personne qui possède des compétences financières peut mieux gérer son argent et prendre des décisions financières plus saines.
Les activités présentées dans le jeu ont été conçues pour soutenir l’engagement et les initiatives ministérielles en ce qui concerne l’aptitude des élèves à utiliser leur plein potentiel.
Ce dossier thématique contient plusieurs ressources qui explorent la citoyenneté numérique. Les ressources permettent au personnel enseignant d’avoir d’importantes discussions sur la sécurité en ligne et l’utilisation des technologies dans nos vies.
Ce site contient 8 ressources avec quelques outils pédagogiques.
This site offers limited free (one per age rage) French resources to help your child maintain their literacy skills!
Littératout offers you simple and fun activities, digital books, video capsules and suggestions for activities to do with your child to keep him engaged and motivated in reading, writing and oral communication.
"In this 45-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of abstraction.
Abstraction reduces how hard a problem or task is by focusing on what's important. We do that by deciding what the important information is and then removing all the unnecessary details. Abstraction is also used when we want to have one object or word stand for an action."

This Saskatchewan based website provides some resources and video links for the following science courses: Science 8, Science 10, Health Science 20, Environmental Science 20, and Biology 30 Old/New. It also contains resources for Wellness and Physical Education.
This activity is about viewing the planet Mars (and others) through a telescope. Learners will go outside on a clear evening to view the planets and other celestial bodies for themselves. Using sky charts and other resources, and possibly in partnership with a local astronomical society or club, children and their families view Mars with binoculars and/or telescopes. The children who have participated in the other Explore: Life on Mars? activities may serve as docents at this public, community event, sharing what they have done and learned about what life is, the requirements for life, and the possibility for life on Mars now ‰ÛÓ or in the past! It is recommended that the viewing event be paired with the hands-on experiment within the Searching for Life activity if space and time allow. It also includes specific tips for effectively engaging girls in STEM. This is activity 8 in Explore: Life on Mars? that was developed specifically for use in libraries.
