Instructional Ideas

  • Not everyone celebrates Columbus Day; use the text as a springboard to a more in-depth conversation about Columbus' exploration and the reason the holiday has changed to Indigenous People's Day

Classroom Considerations

  • Have headphones available or invite pupils to bring their own to wear if they listen to the text
  • Participants need a device with an internet connection

Pros

  • Accessibly features meet a variety of needs
  • Provides a report when all questions are answered

Cons

  • None
