🚢Here are some examples of regular #Annotateandtell and Annotate and Tell Battleship style. I'm finding that students are going much more in-depth. Their conversations are going deeper, and knowledge is migrating through their sharing. Off-topic conversations are occurring less. #Eduprotocols

🚢🔡 #AnnotateandTell meets Battleship!
Students analyzed a pic of the Battle of Little Bighorn, circling 4 evidence-packed spots. 🎯 Called out coordinates to guess their partner’s picks—right guesses led to why explanations. Engaging history and critical thinking. #Iteachsocialstudies #eduprotocols
