Turkey and a Snowstorm!

As if an upcoming holiday break wasn't enough to distract our students, we now have to deal with a snowstorm and the possibility of our first Snow Day of the year! To help battle student's short attention spans I discovered some Thanksgiving activities from Erin at I'm Lovin' Lit (I have a slight girl crush on her work!) She has an ELA and Reading unit on TpT that includes a "close watching" activity where students watch a video clip on How to Bake a Turkey. They watch the clip multiple times, looking at a different aspect of cooking each time. I loaded up the video clips on my classroom blog and tomorrow (as long as there's no snow day...) I plan on using this activity with my students.
