Eye-catching Instructional Tools

Tired of repeating directions ten times?! We've all been there! Some times the easiest way for students to remember directions is by using something eye-catching. Here are my top three favorite ways to provide instructions to students.

1. Canva
    This website allows you to create beautiful posters and designs.

2. Piktochart
    This website is great for creating infographics

3. Powtoon
    Create fun and lively videos to delivery your instructions.


Need another great idea? Instead of having students present their projects or assignments using a powerpoint, having them use one of the above to present their information to you.

Here are some of my most recent designs:

Mummify an Apple

One of the great things about teaching social studies is how easy it is to support other subjects and STEM initiatives. I teach 7th-grade social studies and my favorite unit is ancient Egypt! I created an experiment for my students to mummify an apple, essentially turning my classroom into a science class for the day. Check out the lesson plan below!
