"MY FAVORITE TRIP"
Students discussed trips they had taken outside of Maryland. Using Culturegrams they researched the place they visited to try to find interesting facts about that location. The class discussed the components needed to write a good opinion paragraph. Students then wrote a paragraph using a Word document that they read while being video-taped. The paragraph was to state their opinion of the trip they took. They were to include at least 3 details from their trip to support the opinion they had of the trip. The paragraph was to be ended with a wrap-up or conclusion sentence. Students used Wixie (an online version of Pixie) to create an illustration reflecting something they did on their trip. The green screen effect in iMovie was then used to combine their Wixie illustration with their video to create their individual movies. The individual student green screen videos were then combined into a class video.
