I used SeeSaw to format a Read and Respond assignment for my LGBT/Disabilities literature course. My students were assigned an article to read, and asked to respond with a thought about the article and a prediction about the movie  based on prior class reading.

Class code: VBDT JGKA

I used Smore to create a "newsletter" to recap my Creative Writing class from a previous Friday, and introduce our activities for a new week. My students really loved having a more visual, multimedia itinerary of things they had to do, displayed to them in the order they were expected to complete them.

2. Read the following article from The Atlantic

3. Take a look at the list of most commonly challenged books in the U.S.

4. Respond to the writing prompt on our Google Classroom, "Banned Books":

Respond in paragraph form (NOT by bullet point) to the following questions. Make sure you answer every part of the question.

What do you think about efforts across the nation to remove books - especially ones that address race, gender and sexuality - from school libraries?

How do you think these bans affect both students and teachers?

In your opinion, what makes a book "appropriate" or "inappropriate" for inclusion in a school library? If you were a school librarian, what criteria would you use to determine whether a certain book should be included in the library?

What's the best way to address parents' concerns that a book in a school library is inappropriate for their child? Should the library remove the book? Should a library have a policy in place to stop individual students from checking out a book if their parents disapprove of it? Or are there better solutions that don't involve changing what books are available in a library?

Jack Petocz, a student who protested a book ban in his school, argued that removing books about racism and L.G.B.T.Q. issues was discriminatory. Do you agree? Why or why not?

Do you think the books in your school library represent a diverse range of perspectives and experiences? What subjects are adequately covered? What kinds of books would you like to see more of?

Take a look at the link to the Wikipedia list the books most challenged in the United Sates. Have you read any? Did you enjoy reading it? Should it be challenged? Why or why not?

This writing prompt will be due Wednesday by 3:15pm.

I used ThingLink to map out a multimedia lesson for Multicultural Literature on the Iroquois creation myth, "The World on the Turtles Back." I tried to curate it in a way that students could click on (almost) any link and be able to start their learning from there, either with a video, background information, or the written story. I also included a button with analysis questions that students would have to answer as an assessment.

I made a Digital Choice Board using Google Slides. When in presentation mode, each bubble on the first slide is linked to a different slide that has a final project prompt for my Creative Writing course. The prompts vary from fiction, poetry and non-fiction, and try to appeal to each of the multiple intelligences.

I used Quizizz to create an interactive direct instruction lesson for the introduction to Screenplay writing in Creative Writing. Instead of using the typical PowerPoint, students were able to interact with the game-ified direct instruction. This broke up note taking time and kept students engaged. It also allowed me to incorporate a quick recap assessment at the end of the instruction.
