TPT Challenge: My Masterpiece

When the TPT challenge came out last week to make our masterpiece, I immediately knew that I wanted to create a Step up to Writing prezi. I've been meaning to do it for about 4 years, but every time I started to make one, I lost interest. I do what I set out to do and created the prezi:



 Even though I know it is all just for fun, it really just kept bugging me to say that this product was my "Masterpiece"

That's when I decided that I should be spending my time working on my REAL masterpiece...my entire english curriculum. That has been my baby for the last four years and it needed a lot of updating and work.

I spent the last week and a half (even when I was on my mini vacation) re-structuring the entire curriculum, making sure my entire store was included, redoing the entire preview, redoing many of the products within it, and making sure that it really was more worthy of the title "masterpiece" (if I do say so myself).


If you want to check out the updates go: 
Entire English Curriculum (minus novel units) Common Core Aligned
Entire English Curriculum now Common Core Aligned
Replacement USB

Flash Drive version too rich for your blood?

I do have a digital version!


Hope you like all the updates!

I have been barreling through with this cold all week.  We started learning about inference this week. For the most part it has been going well.  We read "Made out of Meat" and then made inferences about the story.  The story is a conversation between two beings and their discussion about these beings they have just encountered who are, "Made out of meat."  The reader needs to infer that the being having a conversation are aliens and the beings made out of "meat" are humans. An adaptation of the story if you are interested: At the end of the story the aliens decide that they are going to, "Pretend like no one is home," and leave without making contact.  One of the inference questions I asked my students was, "Why were the aliens going to pretend like no one is home?" One block of my s...
