How many times have we done our best to come up with scenarios and role plays that may or may not be applicable to the everyday lives of our students? Where are they reading, writing, speaking and communicating? Social media is certainly one place. I put together a template for Instagram™ photos and stories and students write their own descriptions of photos and comment on their classmates’ posts. I even added on opportunities to “post” Instagram™ Story videos.
I can’t actually use social media platforms with my students, so I created Google Slides™ where they insert photos and videos with descriptions into a template.
This link will make a copy in your Google Drive™ of the template that I created.
This digital activity that works well if teaching in school or remotely.
