Last Days Count Down

Trying to hang in there those last few weeks after testing can challenge even the most seasoned teachers. Once testing is done teachers and students alike are quite frankly over it. Finding activities that still hit curriculum and feel fresh to the students is challenging.  I have found a few ideas lessons that I think might fit the bill. And the best bit is that they are FREE!!!

From Lovin Lit, students will read all 4 witness accounts and become newspaper reporters. They will have to weed through the extra information to find the most important and relevant facts that should be included. Then, they'll write an informative newspaper article!

From Runde's Room 3 different assignments for student-created commercials.

And finally, from Tracee Orman Use Katy Perry's popular song "Firework" to teach figurative language, sound devices, and other poetry terms.

I hope that you find these activities fun and that they help you and your students through those last few days before summer!

Have a great week!
