Watch and Write: New Classroom Warm-Ups

Watch and Write: New Classroom Warm-Ups

We’re launching a new classroom warm-up series: Watch and Write! Give your classroom a creative kickstart with a super-short film plus a prompt for writing or discussion. This is a great way to get students engaged and focused.

These exercises are for elementary school, middle school, and high school. They feature animated and live-action films as short as just one minute! The prompts can work for quiet journaling and reflection or for lively classroom discussions — whatever suits your needs.

This new tool is only available in our newsletter as a way of saying thank you to our subscribers. Check out the first installments:
