American Thanksgiving is just a few days away. Some schools are closed this week while others are open for the first few days of the week. If you’re school is open and you’re looking for a quick Thanksgiving lesson activity, try this idea that I originally shared a few years ago.
1. Create a Padlet wall for your students on which they can share what they are thankful for this year.
2. Let students create drawings of what Thanksgiving means to them then take pictures of those drawings to post on your Padlet wall.
3. Use Padlet as a KWL chart on which students share what they know about the origins of Thanksgiving and what they would like to know more about.
Don’t forget to take advantage of the new comments feature in Padlet. It offers a great way to give your students direct feedback on their notes.
