Project Idea: Objective: The student will collaborate with other students in other Language Arts classrooms to design a creepy Poe poem, using multiple digital tools.
The time line for this project would be early to mid October.
Process --
1. Consume multiple scary poems, storybooks and short stories to develop topics for their own poem. Also students could listen to a CD with scary sounds to reflect this imagery in their own writing.
2. Draft their poem.
3. Choose a digital tool -- Glogster; Prezi
4. Design and produce their product.
5. Share and Present product with her classroom using Skype.

I like this idea. Not sure at this point how they are working collaboratively with others. However, once they've consumed scary poems, could you use iRubric (available thru Google Apps) as a product for critique. Then, they would have the tool to use to produce.
ReplyDeleteI would not suggest using Presi as their Terms of Service state 18 years and older. Glogster, Stupeflix, and Simplebooklet would be alternatives.
the interesting thing is, I had students that already had Prezi accounts! Both in 6th and 7th grade. I don't know how they got it. But the 6th graders did it in 5th grade! So, I let them do it if they already have an account! If you go to my Edmodo account, you can use code - ot6kst - to go into it and see. They did them in other classes or at home and then posted them to the Edmodo account for me! So what do I do when they ask to be able to do that? But I really like your feedback! Thanks! Now when they view this blog they will understand something new about the restrictions. Yes, I can tell them...but they don't listen or often believe I am telling them the facts!
