❤️ Valentine's Creative Writing Activity, Valentine's Day, Middle & High School

Writing can be a challenging activity to teach in the classroom, but I find creative writing especially daunting. Getting your students to tap into their creativity and express themselves through words can be difficult. However, this creative writing activity is challenging and rewarding for students! This Valentine's Day activity requires students to develop a book title, logline, tagline, or book blurb. Once they have finalized their work, the finished products create a fantastic display piece.

This product works well online but could also be printed. The end results look wonderful when printed!! I have provided copies in print and digital. 

The online instructions and information are editable, so adjust as needed.

THIS PRODUCT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:

▶️ 22 STUDENT PAGES. THESE PAGES ARE ALSO INTERACTIVE.

▶️ 23 STUDENT SLIDES WITH EDITABLE INSTRUCTIONS!

▶️ SEVEN BOOK COVERS AND THREE FILM POSTERS FOR STUDENTS.

▶️ FIVE PAGES OF TEACHER NOTES. These notes are adapted from my own classes and MASTERCLASS.

❤️ Annotating Text, examples, teacher instructions, Annotation Middle & High School Using a yellow highlighter has become an annotation staple for high school students. Is this the best way to mark up a textbook or novel? Studies have shown that highlighters hinder retention and comprehension.

Simple highlighting encourages a passive reading style rather than an active one. Students do not engage critically with the text when annotating with a simple highlighter. They are trying to absorb it all without really understanding it. So what is the alternative? A better way to annotate is to try my Interpretive Note-taking/Annotation, where a series of suggestions prompt students.

CUSTOMER COMMENTS:

• When I explained that this annotation style can/will replace compositions at times throughout our year, my sophomores actually cheered! But truthfully, this is really helpful. I find kids using the techniques in other content area classes.
• This is my new favorite annotation go-to!
• I'm really enjoying this annotation resource with my seniors and I believe it will be very helpful to them when they transition to college.

Use with any text and includes student examples.

INCLUDED IN THIS PRODUCT ARE THE FOLLOWING:

✺ POPE’S “ELOISA TO ABELARD” IS INCLUDED WITH LINE NUMBERS.
