Everglades Spelling |
| This fun game allows students to choose one of four Everglades marine animals (turtle, manatee, crocodile, sting ray) to race against the others through the Everglades using nothing but his or her spelling skills. Students must identify the word that appears and then click its missing letter to move the chosen animal forward. For example, for the word tom_rrow, students would click the "o" button. |
Use this Activity: |
| Whiteboard - This is the perfect activity for students to come to the whiteboard, click the error, and select the fact. Alternatively, you can project to the whiteboard and call on students to identify the errors. |
| Group work - This is a great activity for students to break up into pairs and collaborate to complete the exercise on a single computer. |
| Digital Fact Sleuthing- If you're teaching about Florida, this is a fun and unique way to engage students through digital fact checking. |
| Extend - For a homework assignment, have students come up with their own factually problematic paragraphs and allow them to exchange with their classmates to see if they can correct each other's. |
