Narrative Revising and Editing Checklist (Self and Peer)
This checklist is used after students have written narrative stories. They will go through their stories with the checklist independently first. Then they will have a classmate use the same checklist to read their story. At the end, the peer can leave comments with advice and feedback. This has been helpful in building independence during writing, rather than having a line waiting for me to read their stories!

As an ESL teacher, I have fallen in love with I have/who has games! They are a great way to have the students engaged while practicing their reading, speaking, and listening skills.
This particular I have/who has game is dedicated to Onomatopoeia. The students are given a description of a sound, such as, "Who has the Onomatopoeia sound that you make when you are cold?" Another student will then respond, "I have BRRRR!"
The students will enjoy making the silly sounds, while becoming familiar

Daily Lenses 1-4
While I have always known the value of frequent writing, I became particularly inspired to incorporate more creative writing experiences after attending several English conferences on the importance of writing. Widening my perspective on writing, I concluded that writing is writing, and not all writing has to be in the form of an essay!I developed what I call the "Daily Lens" which allows students a creative opportunity to write for 10 minutes at the start of the period.

I put an example paragraph as the first page of the documet so you can show the kids how to do it.

This paper allows students to both decode a message written using Mirror Writing and allows them to write a message of their own. This activity goes great with any lesson on Leonardo da Vinci, or can
