Short Story Creative Writing (Roll-a-Story)
Introductory PowerPoint covering the elements of a short story plus silly story starters for creative writing in a "Roll-a-Story" format. These four "Roll-a-Story" cards allow for 864 different story combinations! Students first roll a die to select a character, then roll to select a setting and one more roll to select the conflict. Then let the creative writing fun begin.I suggest laminating the "Roll-a-Story" cards. Students only need to use a card briefly, for three rolls of the die. The

Spanish Reader's Theater: Los Tres Cerditos (The Three Little Pigs)
Reader's Theater is a great tool for building fluency in reading. As a bilingual educator I have found that Spanish reader's theater is a valuable tool to get Spanish language learners to practice their oral development. Although I have used these scripts in my First grade classroom, they would also work well for secondary Spanish classes.
The Three Little Pigs is easy to follow with its repetitive phrases and familiar storyline. This reader's theater is an excellent way for students who are l
