Start your ELA class with a meaningful standards-based bell ringer. Take a look at what we use in our middle school ELA classes! With our bell ringers, we teach a word of the day, edit a sentence, and practice three standards based questions based on a short reading passage. These bell ringers help students immediately start working and they help us to cover Common Core based standards every single day.
ELA Core Plans provides teacher-written lesson plans, bellringers, and novel units designed to coordinate with Common Core State Standards.
