Happy New Year!!! As I prepare to begin 2018, and… I don’t even want to type the words…start setting my alarm again, I thought I would share with you some fun, new resources I’m going to use when my students return.
The first activity I’m going to use is this Digital Student Reflection. This digital AND printable resource includes 5 video journal prompts where students watch a short video clip and then reflect on the past year, as well as the year to come in their responses. Using the information from the journal responses, students will complete a New Year’s infographic. These are great to print and put up on a bulletin board to remind students of the goals they have set.
Around the time of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, I plan to have my students use this Digital MLK, Jr. Video & Song Analysis comparing U2’s “Pride: In the Name of Love” lyrics and video with the John Legend version. Students will also watch a short bio on MLK, Jr. and complete an interactive drag and drop fill-in-the-blank digital activity. With these activities, students will gain a better understanding of who Martin Luther King, Jr. was, as well as what he stood for.
These 2 resources will be 50% off for New Year’s Day only!!! What activities are you going to do when student return from Christmas Break? I’d love to hear about it in the comments below.
