Novel Study - Parts of a Story pamphlet
I have used so many different graphic organizers for novel studies and exploring elements of a story. I love this cool idea where students can use words and pictures to re-tell the story and parts.
This may be a fun activity for a TTOC to do with a short story you read in class.

Cell Phone Graphic Organizer - Cute!
I thought this was neat! It reminds me of social media activities I have done with students in the past. I have done facebook templates with students, where they created a facebook page (fakebook) for a character in a novel. Some students also did twitter feeds and interacted with each other as different characters in the book may have.
This takes it one step further in describing the character by what apps they may have on their phone, who's in their address book, etc. etc. Cool printable...

Flocabulary
It has been a while since I used Flocabulary regularily, but recently, I have been using the SMARTboards more and more and one of the things I like to do at the end of the day with Middle Schoolers before planners and clean-up is show a short video.
Of course, I prefer educational videos, but also videos they will enjoy. Luckily, Flocabulary is both of those things.
There are a number of education rap videos available for free, and many more for members. You can do a 14 day free trial to access these videos. Also, a few are available on youtube.
They do a week in rap video most weeks that talks about current events (though it is American based) but also has Socials Studies, Language Arts, Math and Science videos.
Check out their site, there are so many cool videos. My students love them and sing them throughout the day. They know their Parts of Speech, Elements of a Short Story and Prefixes very well now because they rap and sing the song from Flocabulary!
One of my favourites is 'Five Things: Elements of a Short Story':
