Do your students turn their backs to their audience and read every word off of their slides when it is time to present? If the answer is yes, then Thin Slides are the way to solve this problem.

Thin Slides are a creative EduProtocol that limit students to one image and one word or phrase and then ask them to speak for one minute. Repeated reps with Thin Slides have helped my students be more creative whether they are designing museum exhibits, children’s books, or giving Ignite Talks.

This assignment asked students to select three vocabulary words from a list of nine and use them to create a line of reasoning. Then they closed by making a definitive statement. Thin Slides make it easy to see and hear whether or not your students get it.

Join me, Adam Moler, and our special guests on the third Thursday of every month for The Social Studies Show on Eduprotocols Plus. We talk about implementation issues and why we love being History teachers. It’s always a great time.
