The world is still turning, and all you can think of is the new crop of students your going to get in the new school year. Do you think those kids worry all summer about your class? No, they're out in the neighborhood, riding their two-wheelers, tiddling their winks, and shooting marbles!
Well. So. Anyway. Since you're here already, and you don't want to waste your visit to The Hoggatteer Experience, you might consider looking over the reading ideas in my Teacher Collaboration section, with all kinds of lousy ideas to enhance your class and address those nasty Common Core lessons you're going to hit in the fall (Common what?).
One of the newest pages I've put together - Unwrapping Wrappers - is for looking at similarities and differences. I like to use graphics and videos, so I paired vintage candy wrappers with modern wrappers. Use them with your lessons (or just ignore them and forget you ever stumbled onto my website).
Another might be utilized when you teach prediction or inference (which in my mind are really a single skill, parsed out so we can be all technical and stuff). Titled as Inference Posters, I've collected some vintage movie posters. As I state on the page, I'm not interested in what the movies are really out; I am more interested in the evidence students use to back up their inferences.
