What do you do when it's the end of the year, the kids are bouncing off the walls and your administration directly informed you that there must be an academic focus through the end of the last day?
Multimedia Projects!
We just finished reading The Giver and had a Socratic Seminar to review the themes.
Everyone had some strong feelings after that! So I thought why not have the students have a chance to put their strongest feelings into a video?
First, I made a rubric with directions:
Then I made and showed the students an example video that I made with Animoto:
Students can work independently or with one partner and we will watch the videos on the last day of school.
What I love about this project is that it ties our novel study, their understanding of theme, and their use of technology all into one! And I am sure it will be administration approved!
Thanks for stopping by!
