Valentine's Day Activities for Middle School and High School ELA | Stations

I love to use this station rotation activity during the month of February. My students rarely know anything about the history of the holiday and it’s always fun to combine holiday activities with our ELA curriculum. ☺ I've included everything that you need for Valentine's Day activities that keep your students engaged, learning, and having fun. All you need to do is add crayons or markers! 

I use this station rotation activity with my high school students, but it could also be used for upper-level middle schoolers!
