Now that week one is out of the way, we’re
heading full-force into the school year and I’m pretty excited about what’s in
store. As you may recall from my post on thematic teaching, we’ve started the
year off with a simple, yet great book about Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl who
died from Leukemia years after the bombing in Hiroshima. I wanted to review
concepts like plot, setting, conflict/resolution and theme, but find written
book reports to be, um, BORING. So Mr. J showed us this funky, free site where
the kids can create their own videos, choose graphics and play around with
animation all while presenting the information that they’ve written. The
website is www.goanimate.com
and the possibilities to incorporate it into teaching are infinite. Check out a
couple of examples that came from my students this week:

Happy hump day everyone!!!
