<div dir="ltr">Today with my 6th graders we made Two-Sentence Horror Stories. I showed them some carefully chosen examples I found with a Google search. They selected a creepy picture and added it and their sentences to a Google Slide and submitted it via their Google Classroom assignment. I will put all the slides together in one presentation and show it on a loop when they come back on Thursday.<div><br></div><div>About 250 students did this over 5 class periods (I doubled-up) and it was highly engaging.
