Arizona ELA Standard: 2.L.5.a

Identify real-life connections between words and their use (e.g., describe foods that are spicy or juicy).

Introducing Power (Primary)

Power is everywhere, big and small, loud and quiet. In this version for younger students, kids brainstorm as many examples of power as they can, sort them into their own groups, and discover a big idea: power comes in many forms. A simple way to kick off the universal theme of power with primary grades.

Power and Symbols

A skull and crossbones says “danger” faster than any sentence can. So why can’t a symbol say “I forgive you, but I’m still upset”?

Power Can Be Fast, Slow, Loud, or Quiet

Power may seem loud and fast, but it can also be slow and quiet.

Geosynth (Greek and Latin)

What on earth is a Geosynth? Break apart the Greek and Latin roots, figure out what it should mean, then invent what it describes.

Parts of Speech Party – Care

How many different ways can we use the word “care”? Let’s find out in this Parts of Speech Party!

Super Specific Similes – Slimy Broccoli

Fancier Figurative Language: Use the Opposite

Let’s start with “As cold as fire.”

Virtue or Vice?

Aristotle noted that positive traits and negative traits are often the same thing, but just in different amounts. The right amount is a virtue, but too much or too little and it’s a vice.

What’s In My Brain: Cute Baby vs Fast Cheetah

Can students spot similes vs metaphors?

Building Creative Analogies

We’ll take two seemingly unrelated pieces of content (say volcanoes and the human body) and then build analogies to connect the two ideas. In the end, students can create a skit, comic, or story relating the two concepts.

Multiple Meaning Matcher – Introduction

Your students will try to match up definitions that belong to the same homophone in this brain-boggling vocab puzzle.

Depth and Complexity: 👄 Language of the Discipline

Imagine a construction worker who doesn’t know the name of a screwdriver or a doctor who can’t remember what to call your neck. It’s pretty hard to communicate well without knowing the 👄 Language of the Discipline!

Educational Valentines

Let’s make valentines with an educational twist!

Common English Words From Other Languages

Bored with typical spelling studies? Let’s dig into the origins of common English words from other languages!

Think Like An Economist

How would an economist read Goldilocks? How would they see a rainforest? How would they study the American Revolution?
