Grade Level: (MS), (HS), (College)
- There are several different lessons here. Each is recommended for middle school (MS), high school (HS), and/or college Students.
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.
