As I prepare the treat bags, bake the cookies, make sure every eyeball is perfectly placed on the ghosts (Nutter Butter cookies), and stack spooky pencils on my shelf (all while watching Hocus Pocus), I thought I'd throw a sale on all of the Halloween products in my TPT store. There's nothing better than celebrating my favorite holiday while sticking with the standards, too! ;)
From now until October 28th, enjoy 20% off all of the following products:

My freshmen are working on writing narratives and creating their own stories from scratch. They started this activity last week and loved it. I compiled a list of great prompts that I've collected over the years and put them on printable cards for the students. They were given short prompts or spooky photos to spark their imaginations.
Students are given an assignment sheet which details how they must compose a scary short story using literary elements and specific stylistic devices. They are then given a list of over 20 scary story starters or spooky photos to use for inspiration.
Also includes cards to use when reading other stories from classmates. Students rank the other stories on spookiness and how well they like what they've read.

If you're trying to get your students to think critically OR if you've just taught a unit on social commentary - this is the perfect film for you! My students BEGGED me to watch more of this each day. I've included over 30 questions for them to think about, BUT I only asked them to choose 10 to actually answer for credit. I also included my presentation on social commentary & how I introduce it to my students.
