6th Grade ELA Bell Ringers — Week 6
Five short warm-ups for 6th grade ELA: working out a word from the sentence around it. 20 items with a full answer key — one focused task a day, five to ten minutes at the start of the lesson.
What is in this week
Context Clues — working out a word from the sentence around it. Every day is one focused task, four items, with the rule printed at the top of the page.
- Monday — What does the word in question mean?
- Tuesday — What does the word in question mean?
- Wednesday — Which clue type is it: example, contrast, or definition?
- Thursday — What does the word in question mean?
- Friday — Build the word from its parts.
How to use it
Print the packet once and hand out one page a day, or project it. Students can start before the lesson begins because the rule they need is on the page. Friday returns to week 5, so a Friday dip points at the earlier skill rather than this week’s. Mark them together on the board; these are a warm-up, not something to collect.
