TEKS: 2.30 Teamwork, 2.7 Poetry
Materials: a large selection of different genres of books from library and/or classroom collection.
Ipad
- Students will work in groups of 3-4
- Students will gather 3 - 5 books together and stack.
- Students will read the spines of the books to see what kind of poetry they have written.
- Once satisfied they will take a photo of the spines.
- Students must create minimum of 8 poems and no more than 12.
- Students will edit their photos as to eliminate any unnecessary background around spines of books
- Students will create a presentation utilizing Keynote and the photo portfolio lay out.
- Students email their final copy to me.
- Students will view others presentations ( I will have access for them in the class and through the student drive)
- Students will enter a discussion and question session in Edmodo about the lesson. Students will share their favorite poems and why they liked them. Did the poems have a theme? Does it matter if you have 3 book or is more needed to complete your poem?
Tina, will you allow the students to use other applications to their Keynote presentations? Are you planning to have the students go to a computer lab to view each other presentations? I love the extension activity of students reflecting about the lesson. :)
ReplyDeleteTina, I see that you have integrated photos with editing, keynote, emailing, and a discussion/question through edmodo - well done! your students will be doing a lot of creating here - a very high level activity! Lesson will be evaluated through the emailing and discussion & questions of their class mates. You may want to include your librarian in this creative poetry project.
