Great Song to Teach Elements of Literature

My students enjoy music and learn the lyrics to many different songs. While searching Youtube for a while, I found the song below. The lyrics are very catchy, and students eat it up. They now know their elements of literature, as well as examples of each.

I'll Show You Mine!

         While blog hoping this afternoon I came across Mrs. Bainbridge’s blog. She is sharing her lesson plans with everyone and has encouraged others to share as well. I am a check list kind of gal, so my lesson plans follow that layout. I also print my lesson plans and keep them in a three ringer binder, as well as turn them into the office each Monday. Take a look at my plans:
