Hi,
I was just introduced to this amazing web site called Mystery Doug. Doug offers a free video every week that asks a question that has been submitted by a kid. For example: What's the most dangerous animal on earth? He offers up the question, let's you pause the video for a few minutes to discuss with your class, then he goes on to answer the question. He offers writing prompts to go with the video; one for k-2 and one for 3-5. The best part? The video only takes 5 minutes! oh and it's FREE.
My plan is to show the video every Monday, then encourage the kids to dig deeper into the topic in centers. I'm going to call the center "Mystery Center". I can add books on the topic and drawing paper paper. A simple center that can be used over and over, just by swapping out the topic.
I hope you find this helpful!
