Content Starters to be thankful for!

Here is a blog post from Discovery Education- have you ever used the lesson starters?

I love the many Content Collections (U.S.)we have in Discovery Education,

but I ABSOLUTELY ADORE the lesson starters! Here is a link to some that

are timely for this season of Thanksgiving.

Our Thanksgiving K-5 Lesson Starter (U.S. and Canada)

So many times I find a resource, or see an SOS that I would like to try, but I'm

lost on how to really bring it to life in my classroom. Lesson starters are the

perfect jumping off point for incorporating digital media into the classroom in

a meaningful way without having to stay up until all hours the night before

starting a lesson to prepare, cut out, make copies, etc.

One of my favorites is the Lesson Starter for Multiplication (U.S. and Canada)

for grades 6-8. I really wish my 6th grade math teacher would have had

something like this...I feel like I would have enjoyed math so much more than I do now.

I also love that Lesson Starters are perfect for new teachers by offering a

ready-made guide for using Discovery Education resources, but at the

same time, can be used by even the most veteran teacher who is wanting

to find a new way to introduce something that has been taught the same way year after year.

Are you ready to get started with Lesson Starters?
