Cooperative Learning Job Cards
These are great for organizing group work and cuts out the questions on who can do what. You can print these out on full pages and display them or do what I do and print multiple per page so I can just hand them out to students during group work. That way, each student gets a chance to play each role and the responsibilities are right there on the card. If there is any way I can modify them to suit you better just let me know. Thanks and enjoy!

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. They are the foundation for all other types of learning as students must rely on ELA skills to master content from other subject areas and communicate what they’ve learned.
Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
Benefits of learning English language arts
Learning English language arts offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. It helps students:
- Develop effective communication skills
- Build critical thinking and analytical skills
- Nurture their creativity and imagination
