Minds-on/Accessing Prior Knowledge• Google Docs
• Example here: Quels mots connaissez-vous?

• You can customize the look and collect ideas for a variety of tasks
• 3 padlets with free membership
• PollEverywhere• Example here: Quels mots connaissez-vous?
• Up to 25 responses per question with free membership
Vocabulary generation• Padlet (already seen)
• What words do you think we will need to know?
• Google Forms• Example here: Quels mots devons-nous savoir?
• Quizlet• Example here (different topic): Les adjectifs (password is croissant)
• Once you have a generated list of words (already known and need-to-know), make a set so students can practice
• Free Teacher membership right now
Predictions• Use a snipping tool (i.e. Microsoft Snip and Sketch, « Take a
snapshot » in Adobe PDF) to clip pictures and create a new document; post in your on-line environment with guiding questions• Example: Les Predictions
• Add any guiding questions you want to drive predictions
• Google Slides or Powerpoint• Add pictures and title to slides for use during a live session
• Generate predictions in the moment (students can speak or type)
Think-alouds/Modeling Reflection• ScreenCastify with text (or another screen recorder)
• Record reading; can include think alouds
• Example here: Trop petit
• EdPuzzle• Upload video, add questions at key points
