Designed primarily for elementary educators, this site actually contains many ideas that are adaptable for the middle and secondary grades as well. There are links to lesson plans, articles, and professional development topics. Two things I have used from this site are EveryDay Edits and Hunt the Fact Monster activities. EveryDay Edits are practice sheets for editing skills. I found this to be very useful for preparing for the ACT with my juniors and seniors. Some are easier than others, but each sheet is a different fact for days out of each month. Not only could students practice their editing skills, they could also learn facts about important dates in history. Hunt the Fact Monster sheets are excellent web quest practices. Students can research for answers for given questions. It could be a wonderful center activity!
