"GROWTH MINDSET"
Students discuss situations that are difficult at first but if they use a Growth Mindset they will often earn success by never giving up and working hard on a skill until they are successful. Using Google Docs, students brainstormed what a Growth Mindset means to them, an academic goal for the year, and their plan to achieve the goal using a growth mindset. Students used Wixie (an online version of Pixie) to create an illustration of their Growth Mindset example. The green screen video was then combined with the student illustration and turned into a class video.

"JOHNNY APPLESEED ADVENTURES"
Students gain a background of information from classroom discussion about Johnny Appleseed. Students used Pixie/Wixie to create an illustration of Johnny Appleseed as he traveled through the wilderness. Then students wrote a caption for their illustration. Next, students recorded their voice to narrate their sentence and illustration. The project was converted into a movie. The individual student movies were then combined into a class movie using iMovie.

SILLY ABC SENTENCE
Students listen to the Dr. Seuss’s ABC-An amazing Alphabet Book! Students discuss the alliteration found in the story. Students come up with words that start with an assigned letter and put them together to make a silly sentence. Students then illustrate their sentence and type out the silly sentence they create. The silly image and sentence are then scanned and converted into a jpeg image. This image is exported to an iMovie project where the students record their voice to narrate their sentence and illustration.
