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

Greek Mythology Stories and Activities (aligned with CCSS)
I have made another Greek Mythology unit! This one ties perfectly with the other Greek Mythology unit I have in my store already. Why did I create another one? Since the adoption of the Common Core State Standards, I have been looking for ways to address the standards that require the students to read and understand Greek myths and words and phrases that come from them. I have found that there are not an abundance of myths that are necessarily appropriate for fourth grade students. With thi

12 Greek Mythology Stories and Passages - Kid-Friendly - Upper Elementary
Greek Mythology passages that were created to be “kid friendly”. I found as a teacher it was difficult to teach Greek mythology in the upper elementary grades because the stories were often not age appropriate for my students and so I wanted to have stories that were appropriate. The artwork of the Greek Mythology characters was also designed to fit upper elementary, not too grown-up but not too childish. These 12 Greek Stories are for teachers who already have their own lesson plans but just
