These bell ringers were designed to be stress-free, print-free, and prep-free so students can be 100% independent and get to work right away while teachers have time to take attendance and get ready for each class period.
Here’s what you’ll get:
-
Original PDF version to be displayed while students complete their work in a composition notebook. No prep and no copies.
-
Worksheet Version: Students fill out their bell ringers on a worksheet instead of in composition notebooks.
-
Editable Google Slides Version. Adapted instructions and slides for students to complete all work in Google Classroom.
Prep is quick and easy… Just display the bell ringers or assign them in your digital classroom. Students will write their daily work in a notebook or type right into their Google slides.
Your students will love knowing exactly what to do when they enter class and you’ll love that you’ll finally have time to take attendance because students will be 100% independent. They’ll easily get to work and have fun interacting with fun ELA concepts each day.
All of these bell ringers are based on high interests of middle school ELA students in the form of memes, novels, and questions. Each day gives enough information for students to be able to review or learn as they work so you aren’t spending that precious time trying to teach new concepts.
I created this resource when I had been teaching middle school English Language Arts for three years and had my 8th graders for three years in a row. We always had bell ringers, but I wanted something new and fun to reengage them in their warm-ups but still require them to think critically and write.
Nine weeks of the following bell ringers are included:
-
Monday: Meme- Students look at a meme, explain what the goal of the meme is, and why it’s funny, and then make their own original meme.
-
Tuesday: Mentor Sentence- Students are exposed to a mentor sentence from a popular middle school novel and label the parts of the speech and/or write what they notice grammatically about the sentence.
-
Wednesday: Picture Inferences- Students look at a picture and make inferences based on the image in front of them.
-
Thursday: Book Recommendations- Students read the synopsis of two different high-interest middle school/young adult books and explain which book they would rather read and why.
-
Friday: Would You Rather- Students read a “Would You Rather…” Question, answer what they would rather do and why.
TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love my classroom says, “My students love when I pull these up in the morning. Well, they are 8th graders who do a lot of head and eye rolling, but I know deep down they like them since they do respond. We do them full class as discussion, table talk, and sometimes a journal write. I really like the book recommendations that you give, it gets the kids talking about the books they are interested in, and it’s helping me add books to our class library. Thanks!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amy P. says, “This product totally engaged my middle schoolers! They actually looked forward to doing it. On Fridays, the students would write their responses in their binders then I would have to go to whichever side of the room matched their choice. We would then do mini-debates to practice the “speaking” component of ELA. So much fun! Loved that there was zero prep on my part!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Leslie C. says, “I am using this resource everyday!! My students are engaged and working from the time the bells rings. They have gotten a kick out of several of the memes and the Would You Rather days. It has opened up a whole new ballgame for many students with the book recommendations. I have ordered several of the books that are in the bell ringers. Great work. I would recommend this to everyone!!!”
