Lately, I’ve seen a lot of really colorful posters on Pinterest! Unfortunately, a lot of them are more “teacher-focused,” and not so counselor-y social worker-y psychologist-y special ed-y, so I made my own. Click the images above and pick them up for free!
Enjoy!
In the past I’ve never posted anything like this, but I thought it might be a nice change! If you’re into creating your own teaching/counseling materials, you probably know that one of the best ways to create eye-catching stuff is to use your own fonts. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong per-say with the fonts that come on your computer, but they just tend to get a little blah after awhile.
Recently, I came across a really awesome app that allowed me to create my own font right on my iPad. I gave it a try and here’s what I came up with:
Not too bad, huh? For fun, I put it up in my TpT Store as a freebie AND you can use it for personal things or commercial products! I always appreciate blog link-backs and credits if you’re feeling generous, but I’m not going to come after you or anything if you don’t!
Enjoy!
Ever been in that moment when you’ve got a super visually-oriented or antsy group? (I know….NEVER, right?) I don’t know about you, but I just don’t have the time or memory to scale youtube or my own personal movie stash looking for a clip to demonstrate what I’m teaching.
Which is why I was very excited when I came across this movie clips website recently on Pinterest! You can sort by traditional movie topics such as editor, genre, actor, or my personal favorite….THEME!
From there, they have topics such as:
– Character
– Aggression
– Grief
– Betrayal
– Compromise
– Distrust
– Equality
– Listening
and TONS more.
Now, I do have a disclaimer: not all clips are appropriate for all ages (obviously – this is Hollywood, people!), so make sure to preview anything you play for your students and/or obtain appropriate parent permission if necessary.
I’ve already used tons of clips and my students have loved them!
Hopefully this will help put a little spark in your lessons 🙂
