Pronunciation/Oral Language ExercisesÂ

With Screencastify, you can even include a webcam recording so that students can both see and hear you pronounce the new words.

Enrichment/Extension ActivitiesÂ
Students that master material more quickly than others can stay engaged with enrichment and extension activities. Building on their curiosity, they can further explore the world around them through video. Students can create advertisements, record research, or even create animation related to the content of their lessons. Then, they can build portfolios of their digital projects.
