From Just Add Students

Hi Reader,

Happy weekend!

Can you almost see the end of the school year? If it feels like it, you'll want some fun and easy lessons.

Try this: have students create a "Starter Pack." This works for a character from a novel or history; it works for a pet or a hobby. A season or a grade level.

My French friend tells me that starter packs are all the rage over there -- so of course, I had to jump into the fun (and add the ELA component!!)

Here's the lesson to check out⬇️

On sale this week!

Need a super fun poetry-writing lesson to round out April? You've got to try blackout poetry. Best part -- you already have everything you need. And this is a lesson every student can be successful with!

I show you how in this quick video ⬇️

Just a note From Just Add Students Hi Reader, Oh I am so ready for college football to start -- Timeout! -- that's not what I'm supposed to be focusing on today.

You can use any poem form for this activity, but haikus seem to be easy for students. This free haiku lesson will help students create their own. Struggling with how to teach poetry? This video will guide you through every step.⬇️ Step-by-step video Watch...
