You will be linked to a short list of wonderful online resources and their descriptions. We do NOT recommend clicking on the red "DOWNLOAD THE 6-12 FRAMEWORK" icon; it shows the same online resources, but its links are broken.

Grade Level: (MS), (HS), (College)
- These activities are for middle school (MS) and high school (HS) students.
- However, we think it would be excellent for college students too.
Remote Ready: With Modifications
- Links to the reading assignments can easily be emailed or posted for students.
- It’s much easier for small groups or pairs to coordinate a phone call or video conference meeting than for the entire class to sync their schedules. Have these small groups post answers, a synopsis, or a video of their discussion to your LMS.
- Paraphrase questions into your LMS so you can grade student’s written answers online rather than in an email or on a worksheet. Or if a graphic organizer is amazingly well done, you could have your students take a picture of their completed work and email it to you.
