Middle School ELA Resources for March

February 26, 2022 by Erin Beers
ELA resources for March

The month of March offers several fun themes to integrate into your language arts lesson plans. St. Patrick’s Day is always a student favorite, but March also features the first day of spring, Johnny Appleseed Day, March Madness, and the Ides of March. Each of these events can provide an engaging theme for your daily lessons.

Over the years I have created many season-themed language arts resources to engage my students while adding some seasonal fun! The lessons and resources featured below are my favorite March activities to use with middle school students.

St. Patricks Day Readers Theater Script

While the 6th grade students are participating in St. Patrick’s Day team challenges, recess equipment goes missing. Students accuse one particular student, but it turns out that the culprit is not one that would ever be suspected.

Your students will love working on their fluency and comprehension with this high-interest, realistic fiction mystery. They will also learn that sometimes we can learn a great deal by making mistakes. A must have for this green holiday!

context clue ELA resource

Identifying meaning of unknown words using context clues is a skill that students are ALWAYS in need of working on. These task cards make it easy to include context clue analysis in your word work. This is the perfect resource to utilize with students for quick context clue word work that can be implemented in minutes a day.

close reading passages for March

March Close Reads is the perfect resource to incorporate engaging close reading practice with high-interest, March-themed topics like National Nutrition Month, St. Patrick’s Day, End of Winter, and more. Do your students need more work with close reads to enhance their focus with reading passages? This March Close Reads for BIG KIDS is the ideal reading tool for your students.

end of novel book project template

My middle school students complete books at completely different times. I need learning tools that my students can have at the ready to work on when they have completed the text to showcase and highlight their reading and comprehension, and this is how this resource came to be. It features 10 activities students can utilize upon completing ANY novel they read.
