Snapchat Template

About the Template

This template was developed to create mock Snaps. This is a great learning task for learning about:

  • Labs: #LabSnaps show the steps to complete a hands-on lab or explain one step of the lab in detail. #LabSnaps can also explain safety elements of lab equipment. Any content area that completes hands-on labs could use this idea: science, woodworking, automotive, culinary arts, interior design, or fashion design.
  • Music: Create Snap videos of music excerpts and explain where and why accents were added. Or create a Snap video of how to clean and care for an instrument.
  • Health enhancement: Create Snaps to demonstrate correct positions for stretching, weightlifting, or sports techniques.
  • English/language arts: #BookSnaps are a great way to summarize any text from an assigned reading or explain figurative language.
  • World language: Create a Snap video of a conversation in another language and add captions.
  • Culinary arts: Create #FoodSnaps to analyze specific elements of a dish: plating, taste, texture, etc.
  • Art: Create a Snap that describes a specific painting style.
  • Social studies: Create a Snap that explains each branch of government.
