Guys, I birthed a MASSIVE baby last spring:

E2E Story Shorts: FULL YEAR Bell Work for Inference Reading and Writing Practice

Wait! Don’t leave! I swear I’m not just selling you my stuff! Pero, you may want to buy it after I tell you what I made.

I’m currently teaching ELA1 and ELA3 at the high school level, and DAMN these kids are LITERAL. Me gusta, Podría dejarles un rastro de migas de pan y se comerían el pan del suelo y aún así no encontrarían el camino a casa.. sin exagerar. No pueden hacer una inferencia para salvar sus vidas.. If the ending of a story isn’t spelled out for them, they have no idea what happened. Something had to be done, so I spent ALLLLL last year creating a yearlong bell work program that teaches reading, making inferences, and writing paragraphs that cite and explain text evidence. I had to write stories myself so I could be sure the kids would enjoy them. I didn’t shy away from the poop jokes; I did what I had to do, and it has worked!

I can truly and honestly say my students like doing this, engage in it, and are improving their writing. Even on the most dumpter-fire-y of days, nearly all of them are willing to tackle this task.

En mi opinión, this is the best teaching tool I have created to date because the kids like it AND it works.

You can see a sample of what I’m talking about on my TpT store’s product preview. The preview is a big one; it includes 18 Cortometrajes (Q4 materials) that you can try out with your own kids. You can also check out stories by listening to them on the Canal de YouTube E2E.
