Description

Halloween friendly! Ready to have students in the palm of your hand and give them plenty of reasons to want to be working in your class - all year long? If your students like scary stories and other things frightful - read on!

This product is also available in my Bundle of Fear (200+ Pages and growing). Don't miss out on a great bargain!

Get students hooked and keep them engaged using the theme of horror. With these highly engaging lessons, they will practice their reading analysis and narrative writing skills - and ask for more! 46 beautiful pages of creative and enjoyable lessons at your fingertips.

These lessons aren't really about teaching the genre of horror, they're about using the genre to teach other concepts and to keep students interested in what you have to teach. It's also a great discipline management strategy because they'll do what it takes to be rewarded with lessons such as these. And - providing this level of engagement is one of my secrets to great classroom management.

Five Sections of Lessons Include:

1. All About Mood

2. Analyze Mood & Close-Read Excerpt from Short Story

3. TED Talks on Suspense with J.J. Abrams

4. Urban Legends - Reading, Analyzing, Writing

5. Terror in Six Scenes: Creating Conflict in Narrative Writing

Beautiful pages, intriguing stories, fun writing opportunities, self-assessments and rubric included. Click on the preview video to see more details!
