I am determined to get ALL of the pictures I took a few weeks ago of my language arts interactive notebook before the end of school! I hope to actually get it done faster than that. I have a few other things I want to blog about before the end of the school year. Seriously, this is the last set of pictures I have from a few weeks ago. Any new ones will be newer pictures taken recently. Here are some more pictures of various activities that we have included in our interactive notebooks so far this year. Parts of an Essay from a freebie activity on www.teacherspayteachers.com. Students had to put the "blown-up" parts together in a sensible way. If you haven't checked out TpT, you should do it NOW! It is full of ideas, units, lessons, activities, etc. created BY teachers and when you make a purchase, that teacher gets the profit. This activity was a FREEBIE from that site! Text connections (remember I am NOT an artist!) Concept of definition/word map Point of View foldable created from a Dinah Zike template. Character Feelings anchor chart - found on pinterest! Character Traits anchor chart - another pinterest find! Characterization anchor chart - yes, pinterest again! Inferencing anchor chart- yep, you guessed it...another pinterest score! Author's Purpose anchor chart - this one is actually my idea. Students added color to the ones in their notebooks. Nonfiction text STRUCTURES, not to be confused with nonfiction text features. I had no idea this phrase/idea existed until I ordered the wrong book. It was a very educational mistake and I am glad that I did not completely read the title of the book before I ordered it! More on nonfiction text STRUCTURES. A really fun inferecing lab using white mystery airheads. Bought the original packet on TpT, but then redesigned it into a foldable for our notebooks. It was frustrating in the beginning, but quite an accomplishment when finished - now I know I can do it for many other things!
