Simply Language Arts started as a way to introduce Language Arts concepts to my girls they had not yet encountered. It has since grown into a way for me to dive into some things I enjoyed when trying to become a teacher. I loved creating lessons and activities that went beyond traditional notes and lectures. This is an ever-growing project, so look back here often to see what new things have been added. I am creating activities and lessons to follow concepts covered in the Language Arts study. As more time or interest grows, I may start creating notes and lesson presentations.

THREE STUDENT Activities (12 pages total)

1.      Same Picture Four Settings- Students are given a partial character drawing and asked to draw that character in four different settings. There are two ways to complete this assignment. I have provided a list of possible settings to draw out (students would pick these out of a hat/bowl, OR they could choose four from the list to use).

2.      Describe the Setting-Five different pictures are given. You can give it to students at random or give it to all five students. Their instructions are to (using complete sentences) describe the setting.
