English Workshop Activities for Grades 6-12
(Revised E-Book 2019-2021)

Build Students' Profiency in Reading/Literature, Writing, and Grammar

E-Book:  Ready-to-Use…  (Can be used for 6-12, but more for middle school)

This unique resource gives secondary school English teachers 180 high-interest activities that build students' proficiency in the three major areas of English curriculum—reading / literature, writing, and grammar. All the activities have been classroom tested, can be used with students of varying abilities, and are effective as individual, group, or whole-class activities.

Each "Dailies" activity begins with a well-written student passage followed by prompts that encourage students to examine the passage in terms of usage, stylistic devices, grammatical concepts, and reading/ literature skills. The activities require students to learn the rules that apply and to use the examples as springboards for their own writing.

You'll find that these integrated "Dailies" activities are ideally flexible. They can be completed as engagement strategies at the beginning of class, as mini-reviews for more advanced students, or serve as walk-through activities or homework assignments for students who need more reinforcement. Each activity will lead to inquiry and lively discussions as students analyze the model passage and learn to write effectively.
