Fill-ins

Please advise where to download more material on fill-ins: The coverage in the Substitute Teacher Handbook on pp 115-120 is very little help.

Hello,

If you navigate to the SubResources -> SubLinks page, there should be several links you can go to with Fill In activities.

Hope this helps.

It is extremely obvious how to handle fill-in activities. Always be prepared for the time when the lesson plan does not fill the entire period. Use your skills and expertise to prepare fill-in activities that are part of the subject of the class. The purpose of fill-in activities is not to merely keep students busy, but to actually teach them something. This usually supplements what the students are learning that day, though new material may be used as well. In my field of history, I draw upon a wide variety of scholarly books and journal articles as well as documents, and prepare fill-in activities from those. My fill-in activities are just like regular lesson plans. I will even leave a note for a teacher that cites some of the books and articles that I have used in my own research. This only works in a class that is your subject area. Kevin R. Fish San Jose, California
