Promethean Flip Charts

Last year I got a new Promethean board for my room and I love it. One of the great things about ii is that you can import Smartboard and Powerpoint presentations. I assume that you can do the same in reverse but I'm not sure. On this page I would like to share some of the flipcharts I have made that I think you might fined helpful. They are editable and hopefully can save you some time. I often get items from Promethean Planet which is a great resource. However I find that once again the resources for middle and upper grades is limited. I will update this page regularly so check back often.

You will need Active Inspire software to open these charts. You can get a free version to download  at prometheanplanet.com

Daily Oral Language Charts: I use these as Warm-up activities.  The students start when they enter the room correcting two sentences and then we quickly go over them together. I will randomly call them a quiz and take a grade in my grade book, This keeps them honest and doing their best work.

Plot Diagrams

I start off my reading program with a short story unit every year. When we finish the unit I have my students complete a plot diagram over a book they have read independently.  The kids like doing them and it really requires them to analyze the literature they are reading on their own.  This year I will probably have them complete a draft in their interactive notebooks before I give them final copy paper. The teacher input side will be notes over the requirements for the poster.  

 The link for the student guide can be found here in my TPT store.
