The author of this site was frustrated with the available materials used to teach spelling, so she and her co-workers developed lessons and exercises that addressed some of the basic rules of spelling. These are totally printable, so you can use them in non-computerized settings. The lesson suggested here is the one on "s" word endings. In Section 1 you will see a link to the lesson.

In this activity, students will use online classified ads to investigate job openings and find housing where they live for someone they know who is hypothetically relocating to their city. Students create a PowerPoint slideshow about the job and salary, the housing and cost, and create a monthly budget.

In this activity, students give their opinions on a current/controversial issue by writing notes on a Padlet wall as part of a pre-writing/brainstorming activity. The teacher then leads a class activity in which each note is read and grouped with notes that share a similar view of the particular issue. The teacher or students physically move the notes on an interactive whiteboard or computer and projector and discuss the various arguments that have been made.

In this activity, students discuss the music they do and do not enjoy. They then watch a short video segment of a band playing "St. Louis Blues" and are asked to write a critique of the music they heard based on their opinion and a critique from a music critic. Students then reflect on how their point of view influenced their opinion.
