Frustrated
 
I am a new teacher.

I would gladly pay to use this website... but let �s be honest, the reason I am here is because I don �t really have an arsenal of my own.  Any worksheet I make already has one on this website that is 10 times better because of fancy graphics and nice layout.

Is there no way around this?  I need materials, not this frustration trying to get these points.

I understand how you feel because when I joined the site I also needed materials and did not know how to make nice worksheets.  But soon I learned and before I knew it I already had the 30 points I needed to download 30 ws per day.
Follow Moravc �s tips, use the tutorials and join this wonderful community!

Welcome. Yes one can get stuff w/o contributing by asking members to give you ws or ppts. Some will comply others may not. Having said that, contributions is what keeps the site going. If no one contributes then there wouldn �t be anything to download. It really doesn �t take that long to get 30 points. With a few decent ws that you contribute (see the links to templates and tutorials) you �ll have your points. Give it a try and don �t give up.There are many good people here that will help you along. Ed

if you �re going to survive as a teacher, you �re going to need to improvise and get creative...you can �t depend on the charity of others nor easy your way out of doing things....
 
...so look what �s out there....and get inspired!

Babz is right.  Just get a template and go from there.  You will see that you will have 30 points in no time at all.  Don �t spend your time worrying about creativity, instead spend your time trying to create a worksheet with the templates that are already available. Good luck, you will see it isn �t too hard.  Most of us had trouble with our first worksheets and have greatly impoved since then.

The best thing about this site is the inspiration you get and the motivation to learn to do amazing things yourself. Don �t give up. In the meantime, you �ve got mail ;o)

It �s not the wrapping - it �s the content.
You might have something- a new perspective that others don �t have.
Don �t give up - make some good worksheets with a lot of information or/and
activities.  You can do it!

Don �t forget we have many members who don �t even have a copying machine.
They might just use a simple but good ws like yours on a projector.

I look for a ws that will keep my students busy a whole hour -at least!

It �s worth trying, trust me... don �t think of it as frustration - think of it as a challenge! ind your �inner child � - kids love challenges! We �ve all been there, but it proves to be such a rewarding experience in the end...
