Cool Tool Alert -- Templates

 I stumbled upon another cool tool to share with you, so no AI this week! Instead, how would you like some fun, creative templates to have kids go beyond regular learning?

If you're not familiar with Matt Miller, you're missing out! He offers so many creative ideas and loads of practical information, you'll be on brain overload after you spend a little time on his website!

He recently shared out some templates -- everything from social media templates to game templates to lesson plan templates, the legwork has been done and these templates are just waiting for you and your students to complete them and turn them into something awesome!

I took a look at some of the templates and immediately had some ideas for how they could be used. Part of my brainstorm follows:

• Airbnb: Write a description of Brian Robeson's camp from the novel Hatchet.
• Airbnb: Write a description of an animal's habitat from the point of view of the animal that lives there.
• Spotify playlist: Create a list of songs that represent the theme of a book,
• Spotify playlist: Create a list of songs that contain certain poetic or literary elements (example: songs that use similes and metaphors; songs that use alliteration).
• Amazon product page: Come up with an invention and create a page for it on Amazon.
• Virtual field trip postcard template: Have students create postcards after studying a particular geographical area.
• Design your locker template: Create a locker for a character from a story.

There are oodles of templates -- I haven't even scratched the surface! Carve out some time to scroll through and let yourself be inspired! Which ones do you think you would like to use? Need help? Let me know and we can get together and do some epic planning with these templates!
