            Mean Girls Listening Activity 
            
            A short assessment for students to complete while watching the second half of the film "Mean Girls."  I used this as part of my memoir unit since the movie, in and of itself, is a memoir.

            Scary Story Writing Prompts 
            
            After reviewing our Halloween vocabulary, students can use these writing prompts to get their creative juices flowing and write short scary stories.  These will later be shared with classmates as "campfire" stories.

            Listening Activity for  
            
            Here is a guided listening activity along with a few points for discussion to be used before/during "Vincent," a short film (5 minutes) of Tim Burton�s included in the Bonus Features section of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" DVD.  I used this around Halloween because it is spooky (and silly).

            Prefix and Suffix Review Sheet 
            
            This is the review I made to help my students learn prefixes and suffixes.  I introduced this sheet the day after I gave them notes on the same.  They were then asked to use their notes to complete this review in preparation for the quiz/test.

            Listening Exercise and Discussion Using "The Sandlot" 
            
            To be used with perhaps the most famous scene of "The Sandlot" - near the end of the film when the boys are trying to retrieve the ball from over the fence.  The background information and discussion questions should be dealt with before viewing.  I let my kids watch it twice before collecting this assignment.

            Here is the pretest that I gave my students on prefixes and suffixes.  They were allowed to use their notes, as well as the review while taking it.  They did, however, still find it quite difficult.

            Prefix and Suffix Quiz/Test 
            
            This is the actual quiz/test that I gave my students.  I struggled with whether to allow them to use their notes or not.  Due to their difficulty with the subject matter, I did end up letting them use the two other documents I had provided (which are also available on this site - P/S Review and P/S Pretest.
