Similes and Metaphors
Good resource to use while teaching similes and metaphors.

Great resource to use in my 5th-grade math classroom
A helpful resource
This resource was good, but I wish that it came with just a little bit more, such as more worksheets for students to use and practice their skills.
“Engaging and Effective Grammar Notebook for 7th Grade”
This 7th Grade Language Interactive Grammar Notebook is such a valuable resource! The interactive format keeps students engaged while giving them plenty of hands-on practice with grammar concepts. Each section is clear, organized, and easy to follow, making it perfect for middle school learners.
I love how it balances notes, practice, and interactive foldables—students aren’t just memorizing; they’re actually applying grammar in meaningful ways. It also works great as a reference tool throughout the year since students can go back to their notebooks whenever they need a refresher.
Prep is simple, and everything is laid out in a teacher-friendly way. My students enjoyed the activities, and I saw real improvement in their understanding and retention of grammar skills.
Highly recommend for any 7th grade ELA classroom—this notebook saves time, builds independence, and makes grammar less intimidating!
Good Resource
Good resource for quick grading and for pre and post testing and data.

How many slides are included in this bundle. It says it is for one week so is it only one slide?
Hello, Maria!
The PowerPoint in this unit contains 33 slides.
Will the powerpoint open in google slides?
Yes, for the most part, everything transfers over just fine. There will be a few instances in each PowerPoint where you will have to edit the fonts in Google Slides so that everything lines up.
Hello, First of all, this is a really great resource. I'm using it with my middle school ELLs. I just printed the Grammar Sketch Notes, but I'm confused as to why there ins't a blank sketch note for me to use with other prefixes, root words and suffixes. The Sketch note that came with this file is for "Predictable" but I'd like to have kids create a sketch note for the other prefixes, root words and suffixes in this bundle. I could use a blank sketch note. Thank you! Claudia
Hi Claudia! Thanks for reaching out! We're happy to send you a blank template. Please email us at info@teacherthrive.com
Do you have this resource including more than one week of lessons? I'm asking because I like the digital aspect of it.
Hi Lina! Thanks for reaching out! This particular unit is one week of instruction. We have a 4th Grade Grammar bundle that includes a full year of grammar instruction, including this unit. You can find it here: https://teacherthrive.com/product/fourth-grade-grammar-bundle/
Are these slides editable?
Thank you

Hello, I am unable to find the digital activities for this purchase. I do see Google Forms in the zip file; however, it is in an excel spreadsheet. I have purchased many items with the option to use with Google Apps and typically there is link to make a copy of the activity which then goes into my Google drive. I appreciate any information
*I figured it out!! Sorry definitely user error ( :
Hi Jennifer! Glad you were able to find them! :)

I loved your greek sketch note freebie - do you have these available for suffixes? specific ones - just not concept?
Hello! We have 2 Greek and Latin Roots Sketch Notes resources that include specific suffixes. You can find those here: https://teacherthrive.com/product-category/language-arts/vocabulary/greek-and-latin-roots/
so this is not teaching specific prefixes, etc...just the concept of prefixes, roots and suffixes?
Hello. This is a one-week unit that covers 18 common roots/affixes. You can see the exact morphemes that are covered by downloading the preview.
Hi, I am unable to download the roots affix power point.. the page doesn't load... has anyone else had issues with it? wondering what I'm ding wrong.. Everything else I've used has worked great. Let me know thank you
