iMovie Book Reviews for Class and the Library

iMovie Book Reviews

 Mrs. Campbell's Language Arts classes designed iMovie trailers based on 19 different novels that they read in class.  Students that read the same novel, worked individually and in collaborative groups to plan out and work on their project.  They had to take into account character development; Images that were symbolic of parts of the story; Text that intrigued a person to want to read the book.  The template that they chosed for the story had to set the mood by having the correct kind of music and transition.  Here are a few to check out.  All 19 will be featured on the Ray Library Learning Commons Webpage so that other students can watch to see if they would be interested in reading the novel. If you would like to try it out in class and would like some help setting the project up let me know. (eziegler@bville.org)   

How to...Lesson with the NAO Robot in Miss. Dembs' 1st Grade Classroom

Check out how engaged Miss Dembs' 1st graders were as they programmed their own file using the Choreograph software that makes the NAO robot move and interact. They created "How to" instructions for the robot to act out and showcase for the rest of the class to see.  Some students had the robot explain how to get to the library incorporating distance (measurement), others chose to create some instructions on how to perform a daily task they do in the classroom.  If you would like the robot to visit your classroom, contact me for more information at eziegler@bville.org
