Original Resources I Have Created for my Classroom of Writers

More resources coming soon...be sure to check back!

 

New!! Six Trait Trading Cards
Great for expanding your student's trait knowledge
(click on image or title to open PDF file)

Your students will enjoy creating their own trait trading cards! (I know mine did!) After they are complete, try laminating them to use for story revisions. Students can focus their revisions based upon the trading card they choose and the advice the Hogwrites character gives!

I am currently looking for more student samples. Send me some from your class and if I use them, I will send you a free copy of the NNWP's Trait Guide!

 

NEW: Word Study Bingo
for your students' writing folders
(click on image or title to open PDF file)

This is my favorite way to have my middle school students practice their vocabulary words. Have them pick their row for the week, or assign it to the whole class. Student samples coming soon!

 

Narrative Self-Editing Questions
for the overhead projector or students' writing folders
(click on image or title to open PDF file)

Are your students having trouble revising their stories? This is a great way to help them fix some common problems!

 

Little Red Riding Hooks
for the overhead projector or students' writing folders
(click on image or title to open PDF file)

Have them try one or more and watch their organization improve!

       

 


Coming for summer, 2008: I will begin offering some of my very best and newest classroom innovations for sale from this page.

 


April 2008: Using Chapter Book Excerpts as Mentor Texts in 6-Trait Lessons.


I just received my draft of Vicki Spandel's soon-to-be published "Creating Revisers and Editors," which I am reading to provide a review for the publisher. I can already tell it's going to be a fantastic read!


I love the Magnetic Poetry site. See all my web favorites by going to my blue page.


Trust me, the NNWP's Mini-Lesson of the Month Club is the best free thing you can sign up for on the Internet! Join here.


If it's April, then my new I-Pod lesson, inspired by Dave Matthews' "Grey Street" is available!


My Little Red Riding Hooks one-page resource has been featured in the NNWP's Going Deep with 6-Trait Language Workbook, their Secondary Writing Guide, and on the WritingFix website.

Come get your own copy at my pink Resource page.
