Begin compiling favorite quotes from the book in preparation for the final project. I told the kids they need to choose twenty quotes from the book. They should write their favorite quotes in a notebook  or they may type their quotes and send via email. They need to have their favorite quotes selected by Monday.

5th Period: English 510

A handful of kids eat lunch in class this period. As long as they clean up after themselves, I don't mind. (Darren, TJ, Nolan, Andrew) I also have another student who comes into my room the first half of the class. He's not a member of the class.  He sits with the class, eats his lunch and sometimes participates in discussion. (Darrion) He leaves at the bell.

Continue reading The Secret Life of Bees. We usually read about 10 pages a day. You may choose to read aloud (popcorn reading) or read silently.
Work on The Secret Life of Bees final project. We started working on this assignment yesterday. Everyone needs to choose six characters from the book and make a "flip book." They may use the computers to look for pictures or to type quotes for their projects.

Examples of Map Legends and Map Symbols (Plus Creative Tips and Project Ideas!)

Creative tips and projects for teaching students about legends (keys) on a map: 1.

With some reassuring, they proceeded and did just fine.  This activity is a perfect back-to-school or sub-day activity. It required very little prep and materials. I let my students use any color construction paper they wanted as long as they selected two different colors.  The results were fantastic! Grab your copy of the ...
