We've been using Google Classroom for the past 2 weeks during GO TIME. It is finally going smoothly. With Classroom, I am able to assign activities to students and they can work individually to complete them at their own pace. This is particularly helpful with a group like this.
Assignments have included:
1. Typing a poem
2. Typing out their opinion papers.
3. Reading a Newsela article about Mozart taking a quiz on it an then listening to his music.
4. Reading an article about autism and creating a word cloud about it.
5. Reading an AR picture book of their choice (at a 3rd or 4th grade level), taking a Quiz on it and taking a screen capture of their score for evidence.
6. Reading an article and watching a short video about Edible Water Bubbles that will change the plastic bottle industry and answering questions about the article. (This type of assignment needs a little more work on my part to get them to answer in complete sentences and use evidence from the article.)
7. Reading an article (or having it read electronically to them about redefining planets and Pluto and completing a word search on its vocabulary.
