Next Week is Friday the Thirteenth

Next week is Friday the Thirteenth.  It is also the debut of A Series of Unfortunate Events on Netflix.  I plan to capitalize on this, by using my Friday the Thirteenth Activities available for free in Artistry of Education @Teachers Pay Teachers and Artistry of Education @Teachers Notebook. 

I have students study superstitions and write list poems about them.  (This is a good way to bring other cultures.)

The Series of Unfortunate Events has thirteen books in the series and thirteen chapters in each book.
Attached to my review of The Series of Unfortunate Events is a graphic organizer to find evidence to support an opinion.  I suggest "Count Olaf is evil" or "Mr. Poe is inept."

Developing Vocabulary with Terse Verse

Several years ago I started a collection of Terse Verse to use in my classroom.  I went a little crazy and created three volumes with 105 Terse Verse each.

A Terse Verse is two rhyming words that answer a riddle.  For example, "What can I see without my glasses?" "A blurred word." My students loved sharing jokes and riddles after cleaning up at the end of the day and these were popular.

To download a free sample of Terse Verse Volume 1 from my Google Drive, click here.

To purchase the full 105 Terse Verse Volume 1, visit my Teachers Pay Teachers store or my Teacher's Notebook store.

Happy Friday!

Nouns and Verbs: Five Senses

Frequent readers of Artistry of Education know that I have been teaching English Language Learners for the last six weeks while their teacher has been on maternity leave.  I have been adapting some of my lessons to better match what my students need.

I created the matching activity below to go with a unit on parts of the face and senses.  Students cut out the cards and match them on the sentence frames.  Depending on their level, you can have them practice reading or writing the sentences.

I am in the process of expanding the Imagery 2.0 product in my Teachers Pay Teachers and Teacher's Notebook stores.
