Shakespeare for Everyone! (or use to teach any novel!)

(View Complete Item Description)

This resource is full of activities to be done before, during and after reading a play (at grade level!). Shakespeare was meant to be seen and celebrated! The approach should be fun and engaging - and open to even our young students. All activities can be edited to suit your grade level and meet your needs. Many of these would also make excellent book reports for any novel!

Writing Rubrics from Saskatchewan

(View Complete Item Description)

Background: The Education Sector Strategic Plan (ESSP) is a multi-year (2014-2020), province-wide plan developed collaboratively by the Deputy Minister of Education, the Assistant Deputy Ministers, provincial school division directors of education, and First Nation Education Authority representatives. The ESSP outlines several outcomes. ( http://www.education.gov.sk.ca/educations-strategic-sector-plan-matrix-2014-2020) The ESSP outcome that underpins the development of the writing rubrics is “By June 2020, 80% of students will be at grade level or above in reading, writing, and math.” Outcome owners directed a group of educators from divisions and First Nations Authorities to create holistic, four-level writing rubrics, Grades 1–12, with levels 3 and 4 being at grade level. The result of that work is the attached rubrics. Content: The holistic writing rubrics are available for all grades, and teachers are encouraged to use the rubrics at all grade levels. However, provincial reporting of writing at grade level will be done for Grades 4, 7, and 9 only. Provincial reporting on writing (Grades 4, 7, 9) will be done once, at the end of the school year.
