Remote Teaching...

If you teach and are remote teaching... we are in the same boat. I actually quit my job last year to stay home and create lessons plans on TPT. Then my replacement didn't work out, and my principal asked me to come back.  I have been back since December 2 - and let me tell you... 
All I want to do is go back to school!
When it was announced we were closing the doors and going home... I thought this remote teaching thing was going to be a mini-vacation. I couldn't have been more wrong. I struggled at first to find good resources to use with my students.

A good resource I have on TPT is teaching the Five-Paragraph Essay.

• There is 110-page PowerPoint breaking the process down STEP by STEP.                            Your students can watch on ZOOM or other video platform as an essay is written before their eyes with so much detail they won't have any doubt they can do it on their own!  
• Send handouts to your students that include: Writing Rules, Transitions,                          Funnel Introduction - The HOOK, Background Info/Thesis Statement, Body Paragraphs, The Conclusion - Summarize, Review, Final Thoughts... and you are good to go!
• An additional 20 page Verb PowerPoint showing your students how to                  ELIMINATE Linking Verbs and only use strong ACTION verbs is included.                      Their writing will become dramatically more exciting when they SHOW                              what is happening instead of TELLING what is happening.

Your students will MASTER:
Introductions (Hook, Background Information, Thesis Statement)
Body Paragraphs (Topic Sentence, Details, Closing Sentence + TRANSITIONS)
Conclusions (Summarize Thesis Statement, Review Body Paragraphs, Final Thought)
