Motivate and engage your students with these fun no games that require little or no preparation. Perfect for Morning Meeting activities -Fun Friday games, rewards and brain breaks, this NO-PREP game bundle is highly motivating for your students. -From time to time, as relief teachers we will go to a classroom and find that there is no lesson plan waiting. If you are familiar with the subject at hand, you can typically use the textbook as a basis for a lesson about the topic currently being taught. However, an issue arises when you know little about the class’s subject. Improvising for Relief Teachers -It is best to come prepared for the worst with activities and ideas of things to do with students which will engage and keep them on task. Obviously, it is always best to relate any work that you give to the subject if you can, but if not, it is still important to keep students busy and on task. In terms of classroom management, the worst thing to do is to just let them talk. This can often lead to either disruption within the class or even worse noise levels that disturb neighbouring teachers. -There are countless skills that students can develop through game playing such as critical thinking skills, creativity, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. -They are great fun, and I have tried every one of them in my classes. Quickly and easily plan an activity, physical education lessons or math and spelling game with these NO PREP ideas. -We all need to have these games up our sleeve for those lessons that may run short by 1-15 minutes, or as a brain break.

Need to make a classroom agreement with your students or need a set of words to develop positive mindset in your classroom. •These cards are designed to be used as a classroom display, however, my belief is that there needs to be authenticity around any activity we undertake with our students. •Students need to understand what each of the terms/words mean or “look like”. •Divide the class into groups and give them a set of words each…….get them to brainstorm how each word is relevant to the classroom and their learning goals. Use a word as a teaching focus for a day or a week, and give students real life examples of each. Praise students who are demonstrating the mindset you may be focusing on eg Why is it important to be risk takers? •Where do we use mathematics- what does a mathematician do? •Why is it important to have music in our lives? •How do we know a person is a great listener? • How do inventors help our lives? •What does being a good team mate look like? •Students may like to add pictures of their own heads onto the various shapes and outlines. •Use this on a poster board, or use your classroom door as a display for these motivating words. •Have FUN!!!

The purpose of persuasive writing is to convince readers to share your opinion or take a particular action. To try and make your readers agree with your opinion, you build an argument based on the logical appeals of reason and evidence. You may also add emotional appeals to persuade your readers and support claims. An emotional appeal tries to use a reader’s fears, hopes, wishes, or sense of fairness to sway their opinion. In order for students to become effective persuasive writers, it’s important they investigate how purpose will influence the persuasive strategies they use in their writing. Start by reviewing the different purposes of persuasive writing as a class. Analyze persuasive texts, or other forms of media, and then identify the purpose for the text. This resource has everything you need to teach persuasive text and the topic of Animals welfare, petting and all things animal!!! through scaffolds, amazing images and teaching notes.
