Explore Author's Craft Interactive Videos

Author's craft interactive videos available through Wayground (formerly Quizizz) provide comprehensive guided video lessons that help students analyze how writers deliberately choose literary techniques to create meaning and impact in their texts. These resources feature embedded questions and comprehension checks that guide learners through the examination of elements such as point of view, tone, word choice, structure, and figurative language, enabling students to understand not just what authors write, but how and why they craft their messages. The interactive format allows students to pause, reflect, and respond to targeted prompts that deepen their analytical thinking skills while building their ability to recognize and interpret the deliberate decisions authors make to engage readers and convey themes. Wayground (formerly Quizizz) supports English teachers with access to millions of teacher-created interactive video resources focused on author's craft analysis, complete with robust search and filtering capabilities that allow educators to locate content aligned with specific learning standards and curriculum requirements. The platform's differentiation and customization tools enable teachers to modify video lessons and embedded questions to meet diverse student needs, while flexible digital delivery formats facilitate seamless integration into classroom instruction, remote learning, or hybrid environments. These capabilities empower educators to design targeted lesson plans that support initial concept introduction, provide remediation for students struggling with literary analysis skills, offer enrichment opportunities for advanced learners, and deliver ongoing reinforcement of critical thinking strategies essential for deep reading comprehension.
