HyperDocs are defined as "a transformative, interactive Google Doc replacing the worksheet method of delivering instruction." You can find lots of information, templates, and examples at Hyperdocs.co. While traditionally created using Google Docs, I'm quickly starting to prefer Google Slides. Slides naturally creates chunks for breaking up lessons, there is so much possibility in the gray space around the Slide canvas, and editing the master make it possible to lock things in place. Plus, you still get all of the great collaboration and sharing features of the G Suite applications.
7th Grade Language Arts students were studying author’s tone and mood by reading and listening to “Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed” by Ray Bradbury with this HyperDoc as their guide!
I chunked content into three steps.
I used the gray space to provide annotation directions and a suggested paragraph structure to assist students in their analysis and application.
In addition, editing the master slide makes it possible for things that I don't want to be moved or edited to be "fixed" in the background of the slide. If you're not familiar with "editing the master," Meredith Akers provides an easy to follow tutorial.
