Digital Learning Roundup Week 1 : 6 Word Stories #LufkinLearns Digital Ambassadors
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Ever heard of 6 word stories? It’s a great strategy for teaching students to summarize and focus on the important parts of text. Read about them on the Discovery Education blog.
In Week 1, teachers were challenged to use an image or collage and only 6 words to share a story. The general purpose was to challenge teachers to not only become familiar with our new community but to also find their voice through a strategy and tool that could easily transfer to their classroom practice.
