Description
This ELA Sub Plan Bundle for middle school includes 6 units of my best-selling emergency sub plans for language arts!
I keep these six units in a binder on my desk so an administrator or teammate can grab it in a pinch. The stories are evergreen, so the work is done up front. The only thing I refresh each quarter is my class rosters and schedule. They also come in handy on assembly and modified bell days when you need a meaningful, self-contained lesson on short notice.

- Reader response questions and context clue word work for every script
- Story maps, summary organizers, and text-based journal prompts
- High-interest journal prompts for independent writing
- Compare and contrast writing (Volumes 2 and 3)
- Word searches and Story Cover Makeover activities
- A paired 1-page informational text plus idiom and figurative language practice (Volume 5)

“This ELA Emergency Sub Plans Bundle was a fantastic resource to have on hand in the classroom. The activities were engaging, easy to follow, and provided meaningful learning opportunities for students while requiring very little preparation. It made having a substitute teacher feel much more manageable and helped ensure students stayed focused and productive.”
“SUCH a creative way to provide work for a sub. It took me about 5 minutes to write up plans for these emergency plans, which was a massive time saver. I highly recommend this resource, especially the bundle as you could use them for emergency plans or just miscellaneous sub plans.”
