THE LONELY GIANT - READING FOLLOW-UP

They found it interesting, and it wasn�t our typical Valentine�s day - we had a fantasy project with their drawings from...

toys - matching ws for kids
This is a very simple ws for smaller kids to match toys and their words. The words are all caps, because preschoolers and 1st graders are more comfortable with these. I use it as a ws, but also as a class poster. I sometimes give them colourful wss as a special reward, but it�s editable so you can print it in b&w if you want to.

MARK TWAIN - the reading/writing adventure
This is a project I�ve prepared for my advanced groups. It can be used before, while and after you read any work by M.

You know when your teenage or adult sts have covered most tenses in English, and there are always those who try to memorize the rules of usage instead of simply listening to the sentences to decide what happens when?
