Campaign Project
My students do this project towards the end of our study on persuasive speech/writing. I generally do this unit in the fall (election time in the U.S.) so that there are plenty of examples of good and bad persuasive arguments as the politicians are doing their thing! The rules are that they have to choose their words carefully-they can insult the...

Reading Response Log
My students use this worksheet to write about their independent reading. I found that if I just let them write on their own, they would just recite the book over again. This helps them focus on their connections and analysis of the story, not just retelling plot (though they have to do that too!) I think it is adaptable to many levels.

Frankenstein Project Grading Rubri
This is how I graded the Frankenstein project. This project was done as we finished reading an adapted version of the Mary Shelly novel. I used it with novice English proficient students in 9-12 grade. It works well for many proficiency levels.

Novel Project
This is the generic version of a novel project I do with my students. The Frankenstein To Kill A Mockingbird Projects that I have posted are the same, but everything is particular to those novels. This one I made very generic so that it can go with almost any novel. My students like being given a choice as to what they do.

This is a modified version of my other test on Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave. Some of the essay question are in Spanish.

Literature Circle Jobs
Literature Circles are a good way for students to interact with whatever you are reading. They break into groups and each group has a job. These are my ESL adapted descriptions of each job. I have done this with novice to advanced classes-only the reading texts are different!

Latin American Country Project
I used this project for my high school students- English level novice to advanced. It could easily be used for lower grades as well. You could adapt it to fit any region of the world you wanted them to study- just change the box of country options! The students have to research information about a country and then create a Power Point presentati...

Ramadan/Islam
I used this test when teaching about all of the winter holidays with my novice/elementary English learners. I used it with novice high schoolers, but I think it is appropriate for anyone learning about Islam and Ramadan. It is very simple, but covers the basics.
