Grade Level: (MS), (HS), (College)

We put these in parentheses because there is no specified age group for the activity.
However, we think it would be excellent for Middle School (MS), High School (HS), and 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.
