The traditional roll a story writing prompt has gone digital with this creative writing activity for Google Slides™ to help students generate ideas!
This works the same way as the paper/pencil "Roll a Story" activity in which students form a writing prompt by rolling a die three times: once for the main character, once for the setting and once to identify a problem. From there the students craft a creative story. The beauty of making this paperless is that students can easily edit their work without having to rewrite multiple drafts. They also have the option to work collaboratively with others in Google Drive™.
Roll a Story can be used over and over yet will provide different writing prompts each time students use it!
How it works:
Students roll a physical die or virtual die three times (main character, setting, problem). I linked the virtual die into the speaker notes of the main slide for quick access. Example: If I roll a 3 for a main character, I will drag a purple circle to lay on top of the genie on the main slide. Once an image has been chosen for each category, then students can head to the writing template. Two writing template options are included:
Basic template where students type their story
Template contains a chart where students type in the name of the story elements they rolled. They will type their story in the large text box and then add an image to go along with the story.
There are lots of options for students to add an image on template 2:
Practice copying and pasting the emojis from slide 4 to create a scene (see preview for an example)
Use the built in image search to add an image
Create in Google Drawing, save as png, insert as an image
Use the shapes tools in Google Slides to create an illustration
Students draw a picture by hand and take a selfie holding their picture to add to the slide
Slides come with directions in the speaker notes. They are also set to print on 11x8.5 paper.
A completed example is linked into the speaker notes of the emojis slide.

Are you looking for a digital way students can keep track of their sight words or spelling words? Look no further! This digital word wall for Google Drive™ is my Back to School freebie for YOU. Whether you return in two weeks or still have several weeks left of summer, I hope you have had a restful and relaxing break!
I've seen teachers create digital word walls using Padlet, Thinglink, OneNote and a variety of other programs. This digital word wall in Google Sheets™ is just another option. The template is a one stop shop that is arranged by letter tabs (with corresponding emojis) that appear at the bottom of the spreadsheet. The image below shows you the "title page" where students can type their name. It can be used on any device that supports Google Sheets™.
Important: I want to mention that this word wall is NOT intended to replace the traditional word wall in any classroom. I strongly believe that there should be a word wall in every classroom for students to easily refer to at a quick glance. This resource was created to supplement word walls and to get students digitally documenting their words using Google Drive™. It is an alternative to a paper portable word wall.
Creating a digital word wall in Google Sheets™ allows the learner to do all kind of things to help with recognition of certain words, spelling patterns/features and meanings:
Change the font color of the spelling feature
Add emojis (device's emoji keyboard, JoyPixels extension, Emoji Copy and Paste, etc.) to represent meaning
Highlight the field to review certain words
Link words to various sources
This is seriously SO easy to use. Once students have typed in their name on the "title page", they just click on the letter tab they want to visit, click inside of a blank cell and type their word. It is already formatted for the word to align center in the cell using size 24 Comfortaa font. Check out the animated GIF in the preview. If you are unsure of how to assign students this resource, check out my blog post: The Most Popular Ways to Share Google Drive Files and Templates with Students.
All slides are set to print on 8.5x10 paper if you wish to print completed dictionaries at the end of the year.

Are you looking for a digital way for students to keep track of their vocabulary words throughout the year? This interactive digital vocabulary dictionary in Google Slides™ is the answer!
This template is a larger version of my original Digital Dictionary that I posted in 2016. However, this one is a bit different since it comes in a landscape format and each letter contains 3 different slides. The three slides will allow students more space for each vocabulary word as well as the capability to add up to 18 words for each letter in the alphabet. If you would rather have all of the words appear on a single slide, click HERE for a different listing.
A table of contents slide already has pre-loaded links for each letter of the alphabet that will take students to the corresponding slide. Each slide contains directions in the speaker notes.
Students type in their vocabulary words and definitions. They can use the digital dictionary built into Google Slides™ to look up definitions of unknown words. They can even research their words using the explore tool built into Slides. All slides contain a home icon that links back to the table of contents.
Students can make their dictionaries more visual and interactive by (these ideas along with links to outside sources also appear with screenshots on the last slide of the digital dictionary):
adding images
adding videos
adding links
adding emojis
adding animated gif
adding voice recordings
adding Google Drawing creations
As mentioned above, each letter has 3 slides. There are navigation buttons in the upper right hand corner that will make it easy for students to switch between the 3 slides for each letter. They can also click on the thumbnails or use the arrow keys on their keyboard to move around the slide deck.
You can use this ONE product for ANY and ALL of your subject areas! Just have students go to File>Make a Copy if they need multiple copies.
