Persuasive devices display / anchor charts and special needs adjustments
Persuasive devices are tricky for students to remember and use in their analysing and writing persuasive texts. We have solved that problem for you and created these highly attractive charts that your students can use as a reference point in your classroom. We have used the popular acronym AFORREST as a way of helping students remember the different devices. These resources will be very useful in your primary or elementary class and with secondary or high school students.
These are easy to use. Simply print the large anchor / display charts and put them up in your classroom where they can be easily seen. You may want to laminate them if you prefer. We laminate the small card size ones and place them on a simple key ring for students. They love them!
A Alliteration

Graphic outlines scaffolds for dyslexic and special needs students
These graphic outlines have been developed to enable you to provide support to your students. They are especially designed to support students who require scaffolding to access and organize information, such as students with Specific Learning Disability, Dyslexia, but we have found them useful for all students. We have included the ones that we had most success within our classrooms, because we know they work.

The subject uses are endless. We have included a range of graphic outlines to cater for secondary and high school students as well as students in elementary or primary school settings.
HOW TO USE A GRAPHIC OUTLINE
Chose a graphic outline that appeals to you
Either use the ones with headings on or a blank one and insert your own headings.
Model to the class (or individual) exactly how to use it, and leave your example up as a reference point. (We suggest you enlarge it so it is easy for everyone to see).
As a class, complete a worked example together and provide feedback to students to ensure they understand how to use the graphic outline.
Make the graphic outline available whenever it is appropriate in any of your lessons.
OUR SUGGESTIONS
Although these have been designed to support you in making adjustments in your classroom, experience tells us that this type of scaffolding is useful for all students.
Graphic outlines are also useful for students who like to ‘doodle’ or draw their notes as it provides them with a framework.
By making them available for all students you are promoting inclusivity and no individual student feels embarrassed because they have something ‘different’.
Model, complete worked examples and have available several different graphic outlines in your classroom. Students, like us, will develop preferences for a particular layout.

Emotions dice activity to help with emotional self-regulation
These three no prep, printable emotions dice are an easy way to show our elementary and primary students how to identify our emotions and express them to help them build an emotional vocabulary. The dice also demonstrate to students that everyone feels negative emotions and what this feels like.

Both dice incorporate a mixture of positive and negative emotions for students to think about and identity.
To play, you’ll use only one of the two emotion words dice.
Simply roll the emotion words dice and the one with the prompts. Then answer the prompt you rolled using whatever emotion was rolled on the other die.
So for example, if you roll “Name one thing you can say when you feel this emotion” and “tired,” then you could answer the prompt by saying, “I’m so tired!” or “I’m exhausted!”
