Instructional Ideas
- Make a virtual field trip part of Thanksgiving instruction
- Over the course of several days, assign one video for homework then the slideshow—check for comprehension with a classroom blog post asking content and reflection questions
- Coordinate time in the computer lab or in your classroom for pupils to watch the videos; encourage them to wear headphones to heighten focus and keep the volume in the room down
