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. Students used Word to edit and type out the diamante. Students used Comic Life to display their diamante and the pictures they took. Students used search engines to find additional pictures if needed. This Comic Life Diamante project was converted into a jpeg that was inserted into a Powerpoint slide. Students then narrated and turned their powerpoint slide into a Quicktime movie.

WORLD CULTURES
In media, students researched a country of their choice using Culturegrams.com. The research was used in technology to create up to 7 pixie pages to display their findings. The topics chosen by the student may include geography, similarities and differences with the United States, foods, landmarks, “Did You Know?”, etc. The students then choose 2-4 pixie pages to narrate and turn into a QuickTime movie.
