Common Core Galore: Language Arts Fun in the Classroom!: 30 Activities for Middle School ELA - Paperback

by Garrett M. Carter (Author)

The author's third book offers 30 creative, effective, and fun ELA activities at around just 30 cents each! This book includes ready-to-go activities that are standards-based and/or support skill development of the English Language Arts Standards as determined by the Common Core State Standards Initiative.

Understanding the many hats that today's teachers wear, the author has made this book extremely user-friendly. All 30 activities, explained in the introduction, are ready for immediate use in the classroom. Student activities include making and supporting claims in creative ways, challenging peers in a special edition of Four Square, completing road sign inspired worksheets and graphic organizers, flipping coins, rolling dice, and more! Many of these activities may be repeated throughout the school year as they are developing skills that students should continually practice. A special bonus section includes activities from the author's first two books. This is a great resource by an educator familiar with Common Core.
