Incorporating the Web Into Your Bell-Ringer Activities

In Take 5! for Language Arts, Kaye Hagler provides web resources as bell-ringer lesson extensions to help teachers engage their students in today's connected world.

Check out some of the web sites she provides with these sample lessons:

  • "Keep It Green 1"- Show this "My Life as a Plastic Bottle" video before assigning students to come up with ideas for re-using and recycling plastic water bottles
  • "Tale of the Tweebles"- Follow up an alliterative writing assignment with a educational game of Figure of Speech hangman
  • "Movie Critic"- Show students the American Film Institute's list of 100 greatest movies ever made before they write a persuasive argument for their "most popular movie of all time"
  • "Tone it Up"- Assign magazine audiences to groups and ask each group to make an interactive poster that describes the audience using the web tool, Glogster
