Video

This is a neat video that students made about the symbolism in the book The Lord of the Flies, which is another required trade book that high schoolers have to read. It would be a neat idea for students to make report this way and this video could be used as an example.

This is a great parody situation on Hamlet on how it might of been created. Something fun for the student to see in relation to the play.

This video I made for my previous class to use with the book The Giver. This book is standard in the High School curriculum. It would something fun to help solidify what the book was about.

Jeopardy

Personally, I really hate PPT. I do not like giving PPT presentations  and I dont like listening to them. Most of the time it seems like people just read the slides and I could do that myself. I am really glad to find a more interesting way to use PPT. I really like the Jeopardy game and I think that secondary students will really enjoy it. I was also glad to find out about the action buttons. Making remedial activities will be useful as well.
