I have been teaching a long time. I enjoy creating theme based units of work that include activities relating to several subject areas. I like creating language arts and research units. I also have a passion for poetry, teaching and writing.

Thanksgiving Story to read and Illustrate.
I have written a short story about how and why Thanksgiving is celebrated every year. The story is revealed in dialogue between a grandfather and his grandson, Paul.
The story has been written as a picture book. With all picture books it is essential for the illustration to match the part of the story unfolding on each page.
This package consists of:
• Story picture Book
• Title page
• Dedication
• 12 pages of story
• End page
• Back cover
• Instruction page
• Photos of simple binding methods
• Comprehension question page
I envisage several ways of using this book.
• For the younger classes, each page can be treated
separately. A page is read and the students illustrate.
Each child will have their own copy and can
follow the story as it is read to them. The
comprehension questions on the attached
sheet can be modified per ability.
• Older students will be able to read the story for themselves
and illustrate accordingly.
• I have included some photos of easy binding processes,
however, there are many binding ideas. Eg stapling the
pages together and covering the staples with a strip of
patterned contact or coloured paper. (photo included)
• This book can be used as an incentive to encourage the
students to write their stories to create a picture book of their
own.
I hope the students enjoy illustrating the story and creating their own picture book, and in doing so, improve their knowledge of the holiday and their reading skills.

This is a 14 page mini unit with activities for visual interpretation (literacy). The students are required to study various illustrations and interpret what is happening. There are several different types of activities that the students will complete. A Christmas colouring, poetry and Christmas tree decoration activities.
There are 9 pages of living things research topics, space to illustrate and answers. The research is based on the letters of the alphabet, so the sheets can be distributed to the students as a research project over time. Alternatively, the sheets can be cut into 26 individual smaller projects, I have found in the past that this is a good activity for students who finish work quickly or are motivated to do more work.
When the questions have been answered, the students illustrate the subject of their research on the sheet.
Answers included.

I have written the story of the birth of Jesus in the stable in Bethlehem. The story is written in picture book style but without the illustrations. I have tried, on each page, to ensure that the words are descriptive thus allowing the students to illustrate to the words, which is an essential criterion for Picture Books.
I envisage several ways of using this book but you will have ideas of your own.
• For the younger classes, each page can be treated separately. A page is read and the students illustrate.
• Each child will have their own copy and can
Follow along with the story as it is read to them.
• The older students will be able to read the story for themselves
and illustrate accordingly.
• I have included some photos of an easy binding process; however, there are many binding ideas.
• This book can be used as an incentive to encourage the students to write their stories to create a picture book of their own.
I hope the students enjoy illustrating the story and creating their own picture book, and in doing so, learn about the holiday season.
I have included several different methods that the students could use to illustrate this book. Many students protest that they cannot “draw”, however I have tried to include other methods of illustrating the pages.
This unit contains 10 pages of mainly geography based general knowledge questions. There are various types of activities, most of them require the students to conduct research and find answers to the questions.
We all have the lessons that finish 5 or 10 minutes before breaks, there is not enough time to begin another topic and too long for the students to sit not doing work. I would create different activities and the student could choose what they wanted to do, it kept them interested, filled in the excess time and they learned as well.
These worksheets can be used in a variety of ways, they were suitable as homework activities, used as group work to encourage discussion, for those students who always finished their work quickly or kept in a booklet that the students could complete during the term.
Countries and Capitals.
National Flags.
Landmarks.
Islands and Oceans.
American States and Capitals.
