This activity will allow students to develop a better understanding of fact and opinion. When reading text, it is important to distinguish between facts and opinions. A reader must use critical thinking skills to evaluate statements in text to decide if the information or ideas are facts or opinions. Often the facts are included in what is known as details.

YEAR LONG VISUAL WRITING PROMPT BUNDLE
Every good story is written around what is called Story Elements. These elements are interlocked and guide the story from the beginning to the end. Students will identify the 5 story elements; character, setting, plot, conflict, and theme from the chapter book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Identifying story elements are useful in assisting readers in building an understanding of the text.
Responding to literature can be fun and creative. There are many methods for students to use when responding to a piece of literature. This activity will focus on thank you note writing. This will allow students to write from first person point of view. This shows educators what students understand about a text as students reveal their thinking, feelings, and reactions to the literature they have read.
Ease the writing process, turn your students into skilled self-editors, and give yourself a quick grading tool with our easy-to-use, fully-editable writing checklists.
***************************************************************************
If you’re teaching narrative and story writing, these checklists and rubrics will give your students direction and clear goals to help them successfully express themselves. Each handout contains a student checklist for independent assessment and a student/teacher rubric for conferencing.

In my years of teaching, this fascinating project is consistently the most popular among my students. This dynamic PBL unit needs no prep from you and will actually make your kids excited about homework!
Why do students, parents, and teachers alike love this project so much? As an 8-12 week undertaking, kids get to explore in depth something they love, learn through both research and getting their hands dirty, and feel a sense of accomplishment through leading others. While it targets grades 4-9, it is editable and easily adaptable to any age group.
The process goes like this:
1.) Students select a new task or skill they want to learn about. Some examples of past choices include dressmaking, creating a video game, learning an instrument, cooking a 3-course meal for their family, and building a cubby house.
2.) Students research and complete the task within a specified time frame.
3.) As they progress, they keep an online diary of their learning journey outlining their successes and failures.
4.) When they have sufficiently learned their new skill, students then teach it family member or friend to show them what they have learned.
5.) At the conclusion of the project, students put together a presentation outlining their learning journey. This includes videos, photos, and feedback from family members and friends. They will also assess each other in accordance with a peer assessment rubric.
While this makes a great introduction to project management, time management, and presentation skills, students will come away from this with much more. This project also teaches grit, builds confidence, and encourages students to learn from and push through failure instead of fearing it. Indeed, success and failure are unimportant with this task. The true value lies in recording and learning from their successes and failures while sharing that knowledge with others.
Everything you need is included and completely editable. In this download, you will get:
Letters to Parents
Detailed descriptions for teachers, students, and parents
Summary Descriptions
Teaching Resources
Graphic Organizers
and much more
I guarantee this will be one of the most rewarding teaching and learning opportunities for both you and your students and one you can use for years to come and make your own.
