Your class will need to put their creativity caps on for this lesson where they will create their own creature and write a story about its life.

ELs will get a chance to practice their listening and reading comprehension skills as they answer questions about the key details in a read-aloud text. Use as a stand-alone or pre-lesson for the Questions for Comprehension lesson plan.

Use storytelling to teach your first graders about sensory language in this interactive lesson.

Read aloud a hilarious diary written from the perspective of a spider, then use the story to launch your first grade journal writing. Students will love creating their very own writing journals.
