This is the first big resource that I am creating for my Teachers Pay Teachers store and it is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
I wanted to create this resource because I have never liked the grammar curriculum I’ve been given to teach. It’s always been worksheets that are either too easy or too hard for my students. I also feel like they don’t retain any of the information that we cover.
This project is hard because I’m trying to make grammar accessible and understandable for teachers and students. I feel like a lot of teachers are intimidated by teaching grammar so I want it to be accessible to them too. Most of what I am creating in this resource is new, so it has a learning curve.
Here are my successes so far while creating my interactive grammar notebook. I have successfully mapped out the first unit. I’ve never mapped out a resource like this before. It involves a lot of planning and post-its. I have been working on batching the different parts of this resource, within the units.
I am working on templates so I can make all of the interactive notebook pages at once and then do the same with the games, writing, and assessments. For example, I have created all of my unit 1 teaching PowerPoints. Then I am going to create all of my interactive notebook pages and so on.
It’s a new process, but if I successfully make this notebook, it could really help my TpT business grow.
I would love to hear about the biggest resource you’ve ever created. What was it? Did you face any challenges? What did you learn?
