Lesson Planning Made Easy with The Sparkly Notebook Standard Product Line

Use this Standard Product Line to make your middle school ELA planning easier than ever!

Sometimes as teachers, we wish that someone would just tell us exactly what we’re supposed to do.

Teach ‘X,’ at this time, in that way.

As English teachers, it seems like there are an overwhelming number of options for teaching everything. 

How do we know what is the best? 

How do we know whether or not the pieces that we’ve collected go together?

The thing is that you have to do the work and think through it… at least, you used to.

You can use these Standard Breakdown Checklists and make your own lessons…

OR…

you can just use The Sparkly Notebook Standard Product Line.

Yep, we’ve done all the work of going through the standards and planning appropriate lessons, activities, and projects for you. 

Each of our Standard Product Lines has a full unit resource completely based on just a single ELA standard from the Common Core. With that kind of focus, students get an introduction to the standard and skills, get to practice a few times, and they get to assess that standard, all by working through a single unit of study.

For example…

If you need a lesson or unit for the 8th grade R.L. 1 standard, just click here.

If you need a lesson or unit for one of the 7th-grade writing standards, just click here.

These Standard Product Lines were truly created with the goal of making planning and teaching to the standards as easy as possible. 

In each of these products, we’ve broken down the standard into specific skills the students need to know, and we’ve created lessons and projects that specifically ask the students to practice and master that standard.

But this isn’t just your run-of-the-mill boring old textbook lessons; these products are cheery and bright. They use fun fonts and graphics, and they include a variety of projects and activities that allow each product to be unique but effective in meeting the stated standard.

If you find yourself needing some unique ideas for a standard, make sure to check out The Sparkly Notebook Standard Product Lines, and if you are a new teacher who’s just getting started, then you may want to grab the full bundle for the grade level you’re teaching.

We currently have the 7th and 8th-grade standards-based units completely built out, and the 6th-grade units are coming soon!
