COMING SOON TO A THEATER NEAR YOU

We are using the Movie Trailer app on the school i-pads to show all we learned about the Midwest Region.  As our culminating project after touring the Midwest and learning all the states and capitals, students are teaming up to produce a movie trailer that will summarize some key ideas they learned. Our Essential Question for this unit is: How can we use technology to teach others what we have learned about the Midwest?  Keep your eye on this blog to view our creations. Here we are hard at work making movies.

Along with learning more deeply about our country, we are incorporating technology standards in the project. Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. a. Interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media b. Communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats c. Develop cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with learners of other cultures d. Contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems
