Digital Poetry Books

My students and my teaching partner's students authored their own poems. They each drew a picture, scanned it and used the picture as a background to their poems which they typed on Word. Then the poems were imported into Photostory to create a digital book.

Commercials using Movie Maker

My 10 year old students were to take any commercial that did not deal with food and re-invent it to promote healthy eating. They were to make sure that there was a clear focus to their commercial. This media literacy assignment allowed the students to work cooperatively with others and to be creative. After completing a story board, they used digital cameras to record short clips and then used Movie Maker to create commercials. Using Movie Maker was everyone's first experience. As a class, we reviewed the assignments and discussed areas that needed improvement, such as timing, lighting and focus for topic. Some assignments are posted below.

Literactive--Primary Interactive--and more

Many educators incorporate some kind of technology to engage student learning. With web 2 it is impossible not to find something on the internet that cannot be used to help support a teacher lesson or to engage students with an interactive activity. I decided to search for 'interactive literacy games' and I came across many great sites. You just need the time to peruse all of them. I did look at some and I found the following to be worth a visit

Randomizing Words

As a writing assignment, my students took traditional fairy tales and wrote in the point of view of the villain from the fairy tale they selected. To add to their creativity, we took the tales (stories) and randomized the words to create symbols for each fairy tale.

Wordle for Valentine

Students were asked to come up with a list of words that best describe their parents. They then went onto http://www.wordle.com/ and randomized their list of words in order to then create valentine cards for their parents. Below is what work done on wordle would look like:
