Download this cooperative barrier game to teach your students vocabulary and communication skills using the structure Match Mine. Each partner receives a game board with a pizza, fact family pepperoni game pieces, and fact family slice game pieces to place on the game board. Partners sit on opposite sides of a barrier so they can’t see each other’s game board or game pieces. Partner A arranges the fact family slice game pieces on each slice of the pizza on the game board.

Portraits of Character are easy-to-read stories that are just a few pages long. They feature everyday heroes as well as celebrities. Each story highlights an extraordinary display of character.

For example, “Imagine that you are in a situation like Scott’s. Write a solution to your drama that is different from the one in the story.” Develop students’ character as well as thinking, reading, writing, and discussion skills as students read and reflect on this portrait of character.
