Using Emojis as a way to check for understanding
You can also use emojis for an inference activity or to talk about character traits. When describing characters students have to pick an emoji that best describes that character and explain why.
There are endless possibilities for emoji use in the classroom. I would love for you to share if you come up with a unique and fun way to use emojis.
