Tech News & Wakelet
Amazon Homepage - Amazon's home page shows what's popular in the moment. The home page template would be a great way to show what life was like in a certain year, decade, even century. Students show collections of items that consumers were most likely to buy with the most popular item displayed at the top.
Product Search Page - a collection / curation. Students gather several items, people, places, etc. on the search page. Then, in a separate document or text box -- or in the speaker notes -- they describe why these items go together.
Amazon Product Page - how we gather information and evaluate products with images, descriptions, categories, and ratings. Students can describe and critique objects, people, places, and more that they're studying with product pages.

Social Media Template - How would students post and reply on social media? Or how would someone you're studying post and reply? This template lets students practice digital citizenship. They can show what they know about the content AND model good practices in posting on social media and interacting with others.
