Here is a great resource for the refugee week. It includes texts, videos, games, graphic organizers, reflection forms, a creative writing activity and a project. There are two rubrics: one for the creative writing activity and another one for the project. You can use it either as a distance learning resource or in the classroom. I have added Word and PDF versions so that you can make changes in it if you want. I also gave the link to the Google document that you can share with your students at the top of the Word and PDF versions.

You can use this 88- slide pack with any novel (or short story) you are teaching. It is suitable for both virtual and face-to face learning and includes everything you will need while you are teaching the novel. There are 23 graphic organizers, 3 projects, 1 Instagram template and 1 choice board with optional activities, which you can use either digitally or as hard copies. Each strategy is introduced on color-coded slides with information and activities. Students then use that strategy to analyze the novel they are reading by completing different activities. There is also a comprehensive Teachers Guide with detailed information on how to use this template, additional ideas, and links. The link to the Google Slides version of the Power Point template is in the Teachers Guide. Please don’t start using the templates before you read the Teachers Guide. Some of the activities may be too difficult or easy for your students. You can delete them as there are many activities in this unit or you can differentiate them by giving different activities to different students according to their reading and writing levels. You can also add more questions, delete some slides, or change some of the questions to make it work for you and your students.

By using this comprehensive inquiry-based guide, you can analyze any novel or short story using Harvard Project Zero Visible Thinking Routines and reading strategies. It includes 3 projects with rubrics, 3 writing tasks, and 20 different activities, most of which include Visible Thinking Routines. Other than Visible Thinking Routines, there are cooperative learning activities such as expert groups, gallery walk, Socratic discussions. There are also formative assessment tasks at the end of each project. I used Trudy Ludwig’s short novel, Just Kidding but you can use them with any text on bullying with the exception of one activity: Reading response journal. The questions in this activity are about the novel. You can use similar questions about the text you are using. It will take you one month to complete all the tasks and projects in the guide, but if you do not have enough time, you can omit some of them. You can also differentiate them by assigning them to different groups of students. You can use it either digitally as there is a Google Drive link in Notes to the Teacher section or as a hard copy if your students do not have devices. Please do not start using the guide before you read Notes to the Teacher. Thank you for buying this resource.
