Narrative Revising and Editing Checklist (Self and Peer)
This checklist is used after students have written narrative stories. They will go through their stories with the checklist independently first. Then they will have a classmate use the same checklist to read their story. At the end, the peer can leave comments with advice and feedback. This has been helpful in building independence during writing, rather than having a line waiting for me to read their stories!

Onomatopoeia I HAVE / WHO HAS
As an ESL teacher, I have fallen in love with I have/who has games! They are a great way to have the students engaged while practicing their reading, speaking, and listening skills.
This particular I have/who has game is dedicated to Onomatopoeia. The students are given a description of a sound, such as, "Who has the Onomatopoeia sound that you make when you are cold?" Another student will then respond, "I have BRRRR!"
The students will enjoy making the silly sounds, while becoming familiar
