Her goal is to help students identify and explain the purpose of features like captions, headings, diagrams, and glossaries.

She wants to create an activity that’s interactive and engaging—but also manageable and not too time-consuming to prep. Ms. Taylor knows the basics of Google Slides but has never used it for anything beyond presenting information at staff meetings.

She comes to you and says:

“I’ve heard Google Slides can be used for student activities, but I don’t really know how. I don’t want to just show students examples—I want them to actually do something with it. Any ideas?”

In your response, include:

  1. One specific activity Ms. Taylor could create using Google Slides.

  2. How the activity would work (teacher prep and student use).

  3. How this supports learning of nonfiction text features in an engaging way.
