 Instant Independent Reading Response Activities: 50 Fun, Reproducible Literature-Response Activities and Graphic Organizers-for ANY BOOK-That Help Kids ... Reading and Build Important Skills $15.99 As a teacher of third graders, I love this book because it provides many directly useful projects that require students to show their comprehension skills while also having a little fun. The projects all require both writing and either drawing or construction. Skills include sequencing, story mapping, cause and effect, and other fundamental reading skills.  Easy Simulations: Civil War: A Complete Tool Kit With Background Information, Primary Sources, and More to Help Students Build Reading and Writing Skills-and Deepen Their Understanding of History $11.99 I used this Civil War simulations book with my own linguistically and ethnically diverse fifth grade class as well as with a group I was substituting for in the same Title I school. In both instances, this unit was a huge hit. The students were motivated and engaged the entire time and came away with a much deeper understanding of the American Civil War Era. The book is easy to follow (thus the title) and requires little prep time. However, as with any teaching materials, I would recommend pre-reading the day's simulations so you know what to expect. |
