"my goal for the year"
STUDENTS CHOSE A GOAL OR GOALS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR. STUDENTS WROTE AN ESSAY using word to explain THE REASON FOR THEIR GOAL AND STRATEGIES THEY PLANNED TO USE TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL. STUDENTS THEN USED AN ONLINE VERSION OF PIXIE CALLED WIXIE TO CREATE AN IMAGE ABOUT THEIR TOPIC. STUDENTS VIDEO TAPED EACH OTHER READING THEIR ESSAY USING A GREEN SCREEN. STUDENTS WERE THEN GIVEN STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS EXPLAINING HOW TO MAKE AN IMOVIE USING THE GREEN SCREEN EFFECT TO REPLACE THE GREEN SCREEN WITH THE IMAGE THAT THEY CREATED. STUDENTS THEN COMPRESSED THEIR MOVIE SO IT COULD BE SHARED ON THIS WIKI.

"DIAMANTE"
Students created a diamante with the help of the “readwritethink” website. Students then used a digital camera to take pictures of a scene reflected in their poem, or they used a student approved search engine to find appropriate images. Students used Word to edit and type out the diamante. Students used Comic Life to display their diamante and the pictures they choose. This Comic Life Diamante project was converted into a jpeg image. Students then narrated and turned their digital image into a Quicktime movie.
