INFORMATIONAL TEXT
Vine
8 ways you can use Vine to enhance your reading instruction:
1. Use Vine videos to teach your students about inference. You can film a few shots of something (like I have done below) and then let the students discuss what they think is going on in the video, or what caused the scene. (LINK) 2. Use Vine to make in-class projects more entertaining by having students create and upload their own videos relating to lesson material. 3. Have students re-create scenes from books they are reading using Vine to showcase their interpretation of the story. 4. Get students excited about an upcoming unit by using Vine to create a unit preview.
