Google Slides is such an amazing tool! The creativity and the collaboration that it fosters together is nearly unmatched. One of my favorite activities which showcases this is to have students create a "Choose Your Own Adventure" game. You remember those books you could read which gave you two alternate scenarios and depending on the page you turned to, the story would go down a new path, right? This activity forces students to plan ahead, think about alternate scenarios, assess cause and effect, and stay organized as they connect slides together. There are a number of skills which students are refining as they work through this activity!
