"declaring independence or not?"
This project integrates the social studies curriculum with online research, Google Drive, Comic Life, and iMovie. Students worked in pairs. One student researched a patriot and the partner researched a loyalist. The pair communicated with each other using Google Drive to create a six line debate where each historical figure is making statements similar to what they would have said over 240 years ago. The debate was displayed using Comic Life where pictures of the historical figures had a six-framed debate, three frames from each person. Students then took screen shots of the six frames. These six frames were used in iMovie. Students then narrated their six-framed debate. Students also create a title frame and musical introduction. Students then compressed their iMovie into an mp4 movie file.

"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.
