Embedded Files
My kindergarten class studied different types of jobs people do. The unit included embedded technological resources such as a Smart Notebook file, an animated story, and an animated song. At the culmination of the unit students used the information they collected to write an opinion piece responding to the the question, "What do you want to be when you grown up?" To illustrate their final draft, with support they created a green screen image of themselves in a setting that reflected what they wanted to be. Final drafts were placed into a Power point presentation to be presented by their creators to the class. Final drafts were printed for students to share with their families. The Power point was exported into a video format and will be played during Open House.
