I am constantly looking to find ideas and topics my students enjoy. The goal is to leverage their interests to develop them as writers.
For the following worksheets, students need to scan the QR code, watch the video given, then complete the response questions.
The objective is for students to gather three facts or ideas that intrigue them, then elaborate on one of those ideas. I want my students to learn how to “stretch” their thinking. The more nuanced and specific their ideas, the better.
I plan on using these worksheets as extra credit tasks, and emergency sub plans. Or, if a students mentions they love soccer, golf, or Stephen Curry–I will recommend that they complete one of the following worksheets for extra credit.
