However they all created a narrative story (which was the genre being studied in class) and part of the narrative was that one of the characters had to face a problem or challenge and make a decision (as decision making was being studied as part of their unit of inquiry). So within each class, each student wrote a different story but they all used the same Web2.0 tool to tell their story. There are 4 classes in Grade 3, so each class chose a different tool. However in one class the students had to work in groups because it involved drama, taking photos and putting them into VoiceThread. In this class they wrote and storyboarded in small groups before starting with the photography and VoiceThread. They divided up the jobs between them - sometimes taking turns to do the photography or in the case of one group having one person do all the photography while the others in the group were the "actors" in the story. In total, therefore, we had 20 stories using StoryBird, 20 using ZimmerTwins, 20 using Bitstrips and 5 using VoiceThread as students worked in groups of 4s and on the VoiceThread each narrated their part of the story.Maggie Hos-McGranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906722339671067160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040524831337878007.post-61218580518143348402011-01-03T14:45:36.890+05:302011-01-03T14:45:36.890+05:30Hi Maggie,

Did they come up with different ideas in small groups and then one was chosen? How was work divided?

I am having them find images that illustrate their facts then they will use animoto, photo peach and photo story to tell their explorer's story. One class was not ready for their explorer so we started with the book they just finished reading in class. They found 10 images that relate to wither the character, setting, plot, conflict, etc. and will share via animoto.@teacherdebrahttp://www.learning-spaces.wikispaces.comnoreply@blogger.com
