If you have students who are looking to learn a different language, this collection may be the right fit for them. We have two students who want to study German, this will help guide them. Also, I believe our foreign language teacher would find it helpful for students.

I found many items on this site that would be useful for language arts teachers in particular, but really for any subject area. I could use some of the ideas myself. One example is a summer readling list. I have compiled many good lists from various sources every year and posted on my library pages, but this is a good example of the type of thing that could save some time by not re-inventing the wheel! Found useful link to using Diigo as well.

I have used this. I like that fact that it's another option for mind mapping. I could see using it before a writing assignment in a language arts classroom. The link could be assigned through Google Classroom.

I tagged this site because I think it helps teachers to save time. When the CCSS first rolled out, my district spent a lot of time reinventing the wheel. Much the the AASL Crosswalk, I think teachers would find this tool useful. I would first introduce this source to them in a quick over-view. I would then sit in small groups or one on one and help teachers realign their standards to the new the CC.

This is a short lesson that asks 8th graders to apply their knowledge of poetic elements and figurative language to song lyrics. I love using song lyrics when talking about poetry, and this seems like a fun way to combine the two.

This unit shows instructional approaches that are likely to help ELLs meet new standards in English Language Arts.

Scratch is a free programming language and online community where you can create your own interactive stories, games, and animations.

I think this would be a fun alternative to the traditional book report. Students are introduced to the five story elements in Session One. In Session Two students use Comic Creator Student Interactive to create a six-frame comic strip to map story elements from a story they have read.

I used this with the 4th grade class last year and they LOVED it!

This is a great lesson to use with elementary students to analyze text and meet Common Core standards. I liked that this lesson also uses Amelia Bedelia because you can then also discuss language and meaning and how her chores are always funny since she is literally doing what she hears.

"The Ways" is a great resource for 4th grade teachers and students as they delve into their Native American Unit. It is part of the Wisconsin Media Lab and shares a great map and community stories from WI.
