Students "Think like an Editor" and can use this resource to assist them in editing or peer-editing writing.

We Friday Film day every Friday. This activity works well both in the classroom and on Zoom. We will watch a short film (usually animated) and have students analyze story elements such as the characters, setting, problem (conflict), and lesson learned in groups/breakout rooms. They will make a judgment: thumbs down, neutral, or thumbs up, and explain their opinion in a paragraph response.

Have your students discuss the Habits of a Scholar and what three qualities they think the President of the United States should possess. They can nominate a person they know in real life, make up a person, or write about themselves! They can draw a portrait of this person or attach a picture in the frame.
