How can I use this in the classroom?
- Use PeebleGo and library books to research a famous person, place, or thing. Then allow students to present their research by creating a 5 Clue Challenge.
- Use as an attention hook for new units and lessons by either creating your own video to match the content or allowing your students to teach the content using the videos.
- Author Study: Pair students in groups then assign them a book title. Each book given should be from the same author. Have the students make a video describing their book and then present it to the class and finish the presentation by reading the story guessed.
