6. Procedures/Methods-

Students will all choose a favorite book to use during this project.
|
| |
|
|
B. Development-
Students choose one of the following prompts:
1. Pick a character from a book you have read. Describe the character
and what book they are from, state the problem in the story, and explain
how the character helped solve the problem. OR 1. Pick a character
from a book you have read and explain why they are important
2. Teacher shows example on ChatterPix. |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
| Students will have already had experience using ChatterPix so they
will not need extra practice. |
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1.Students start by drawing a picture of their character on paper.
2. Students write notes on what they would like to say. It will be
important for students to understand that they will be speaking from
the character's point of view, not their own.
3. Students take a photograph of their drawing using an iPad and import
it into ChatterPix.
4.Students begin recording, using the ChatterPix mouth to replace
the character's mouth. |

|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
For students who struggle with writing, I might have them mentally
brainstorm or draw pictures, rather than write notes, in preparation
for recording.
|
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
Teacher monitors that students are following the directions (see
Evaluation below).
|
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
1. Students share their projects (perhaps teacher complies them
all onto one device).
2. Discussion:
-What was something that someone did well?
-How did this project help you share your thinking?
-Now that you've seen many projects, would you do anything differently
next time? |
| |
|
