Distance Learning ELA | Choice Board Using Netflix

Distance learning in high school can be complicated! I've put together a digital learning choice board to practice ELA skills using something most of our students are using anyway - NETFLIX! Students will be able to learn, use, and refine ELA skills without even realizing that they're learning!

This product comes with a choice board for students to select specific genres of films or TV shows to watch on Netflix + an activity for each film/show. The activities tackle a wide range of ELA skills from theme and inferencing to purpose, persuasion, and even creative thinking. You will receive the activity to share with students along with video instructions to share with your students, as well. I've also included detailed teacher instructions for this product. 

Students will be prompted to complete 3 activities in a row (you can always edit the instructions, too) from the choice board.

The assignments cover topics such as:

- Central Idea

- Rhetoric

- Tone

- Theme

- Inferencing

- Creative thinking

- Characterization

- Purpose

- Figurative Language

....etc. 

Please note that there are no answer keys attached because it would be impossible to create an answer key that covered every possible film/show option. You will have to read through and assign point values/grades to the students' work based on your own grading standards. 

As we are all exploring an uncharted, educational "frontier", I kindly ask that you email me with any questions or issues that you may be having with this product. You can contact me at any time by emailing LilyAGibby@gmail.com or CelebratingSecondary@gmail.com. I will be more than happy to accommodate your requests or concerns. I've tried to create videos to explain any issues or questions that may come up, but I'll be happy to create more if needed.
