ENGLISH BELL RINGERS: GRAMMAR, READING, WRITING, & SPEAKING
Grammar, Reading, Writing, and Speaking: These engaging English warm-ups / bell ringers are an excellent way to motivate your students, manage your classroom, and assess student understanding of the curriculum standards! There are 120 tasks for students to complete to help them improve their grammar, writing, reading strategies, figurative language & much more!
All you have to do is have the screen on the projector when students walk in and your prep is done! Each of the slides also has a detailed answer key or student response sample to make going over the bell-ringer a breeze. Start a class or two a week with silent reading, and this resource will last you the whole school year!
The class starters include lots of interesting modern topics that students will love (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Cell Phones, Celebrities, Animals), and also address MANY middle and early high school (8-10) Common Core Curriculum Standards.
