Seusstastic in the Upper Grades Pin It Now!

My lower grade friends seem to get most of the fun with Dr. Seuss, but there's room for him in the upper grades, too.  I shared this a while back, but I'm pretty sure I only had about ten followers at that time.  So, I'm feeling confident it'll be new to most of you!

It started with this pin:

I loved it.  So smart.  And deep.  And thought provoking.  You know what I wasn't loving at the time?  Our tired writing stations.  I loved the quotes so much that they became a new writing response station.  I made these posters:


And this recording sheet:

You can download the posters here (get them printed in 11x17 color at Office Max or Office Depot for $1.50!)

  3. Wow! These are great. I can't wait to use these with my kiddos. Dr. Seuss is so often overlooked in the upper grades, too. Thank you for sharing!

  10. The posters are awesome. i was thinking about what I would use for a prompt on our Reading Blog this week I think I've found it. Thanks for sharing. Another upper grade Seuss activity I've done is have my kids "Seuss" their independent reading book, AKA rewrite a scene from their story is Seuss-like prose. It's a challenge and it takes LOTS of modeling but they come up with some wonderful stuff. ~Stacy @ http://new-in-room-202.blogspot.com
