In the Classroom

This unit would be great to supplement your reading and history lessons. First, using the wordplay section of the activities, students learn five new vocabulary words by reading the word and definition, then using the interactive features to draw a picture, use it in a sentence, and act it out. Next, have your class work together using the interactive mind map to practice sequencing or to extend learning about concepts learned in the video. When finished, mind maps, drawings, and writings can all be printed or saved as images.
