The best learning takes place when students are having fun and feeling challenged at the same time. Of course, it can be tough coming up with ideas for engaging, rigorous lessons. Listen as Caitlin and Jessica give you an overview of an awesome narrative writing activity to help you spiral your standards, challenge your students, and have a lot of fun at the same time.
Do you remember playing MASH as a kid? This activity will take things to a new level as students use this fun 90’s sleepover game to come up with the elements of a narrative writing piece. It’s a great activity that challenges students while supporting their learning.
Additionally, Caitlin and Jessica would like to invite you to join the EB Teacher’s Club, to help you find other great activities like these while receiving helpful support from colleagues all over the country and even the world. There is only a short time to join, so take a listen to this podcast and decide if you want to experience everything the Teacher’s Club has to offer this year.
