February Buzzer Packet

These are lifesavers.  I love having my student on task as soon as they come into class, almost as much as I love to see them write.  This is a perfect mix.  Buzzers work just like journals or bell work, but with my own twist.  All of the details are in my TpT description, so I won't repeat, but I will show you some of the pages.  Check back for Buzzers for every month, coming soon!

Sweetheart Business Letters (Scenario/writing prompts for writing business letters)

These prompts are a great fit with the Writing Business Letters Combo Pack listed by Dayley Supplements earlier.  They fit perfectly with the grading rubrics and all information presented within!  Happy Valentine's Day!

Super Bowl Advertising Strategies Mini Unit

This mini unit is a fabulous way to wrap up football season!  Teach your students to be savvy consumers by being ware of advertising strategies.  This mini unit includes a 22 slide PowerPoint presentation, two student worksheets, and an interactive game to help students review what they have learned.  All game pieces are printable and photos will help guide the assembly.

Here is what the Concentration game looks like.  The font in this PDF is a little different, but this is the main idea.

Here are some tips for putting the game together:

1. Print and laminate the number cards so they can be reused.  
2. Tape the definitions and terms upside down so when student call out a number, you don't have to remove the number card, you can lift it up and still be able to read it.
