A couple of weeks ago I was answering emails, updating grades and checking boxes off my to do list during my plan period. It was time to start thinking about classes and curriculum planning. I began to think about my ELA class, our current unit and the routine (rut-ish) it felt like we were in. Next up in the lesson was vocabulary review. My brain began to swirl with ways I could flip the lesson to make it more interactive, more engaging and not me simply asking a question and students answering. Instantly I went to the games part of my brain and began to swipe through options that would go with my lesson: Werewords, Code Names, Just One, Starlink…
Just One. That’s an option. Warewords…oohhhh I’d been wanting to bring that into my classroom. Wait…Code Names…Code Names. Oooooo! What about Code Names and Among Us? Could I? Would it work?
