Mrs. Castonguay Class Technology/Interdisciplinary 2023-24 Projects
Types Community - Project
The students were able to choose from one of the three community types and write about it. After they finished writing within the classroom, they had to type within a Google Slide and add an image plus add some color to the text.
The students are given a writer's organizer to fill out ideas on a topic. They need to fill out the organizer to help write their pieces. They come to the lab and do all the typing and write their writing pieces. This will be a project the students will be working on all year, so you will notice that at times a writing piece isn't complete because they are currently working on it. Each writing assignment within their Journal Writing Google slides file, the students have the ability to add an image that goes along with their writing. The students use an editing checklist to edit their work before moving on to the next writing piece.
Students were given a book on a famous person. Their challenge were to read through the book and find key facts that they had to write down within an organizer. The facts they collected will be information they had to use during a live wax museum presentation in front of an audience. The students then had to organize all their information by writing complete sentences within Google slides that they used as a visual for them and their audience during the wax museum presentation.
