Our class just completed a terrific group project. This project combined the students’ knowledge of technology (Google classroom, creating text boxes, copying/pasting of images, researching using google), reading informational text (determining important information and highlighting it, answering a question using a text for evidence), non-fiction text features (illustration, heading, caption, photograph), and content (Michigan History: The Three Fires). The students worked on this project with each pair assigned to complete one slide for a whole-class slide show presentation. Each pair presented a slide and students explained the reasoning behind their choices. After the presentation, the class discussed what they learned about this section of Michigan History and summarized the information into a notebook entry. It was truly an experience of students becoming experts, sharing their information with others and having an opportunity to teach each other. Enjoy watching the slideshow!
