ELA Rotation Slides

Struggling with how to organize your ELA rotations/centers? Here is an EDITABLE slideshow that will tell students which rotation they'll be going to. I have embedded a 15 minute Youtube video onto each slide to help students (and the teacher) time manage! (which is easily changeable if you need a different time frame. Simply click on it, backspace to delete it, Go to Insert, Video, put in what kind of timer you're looking for, and click Select.) Hope this helps!
