One real lesson plan, start to finish.

What Bellwork told the teacher

  • Skipped the open-ended writing tasks (Sentence Upgrade partner activity, Independent Practice #4, and the exit ticket). They have many right answers and are hard to judge in a game.
  • Skipped the extension on prepositional phrases because the lesson does not teach them.
  • Two questions use new example sentences not in the lesson ("The dog is happy" and "The stars were very bright"). They are marked inferred. Please check they fit your class.
  • The "Add an adjective to 'The bird flew'" question has many correct answers, so you will need to judge each team's word.
