My GT English 6 classes (using Level 2 in Springboard) are creating Illustrated Myths which explain a natural occurence. We are loving the ComicStrip App that makes it so fun and so easy!

Unit One Unpacking
I was kind of stupidly hanging on to this, my Springboard Level 3 Unit 1 "Unpacking" poster. This essay was due today for my 7th graders, and we began a new unit/project as soon as class began. I have a number of students who are still working on it or who will need to remediate it, so I really didn't want to toss it just yet. Then, one of the 7th graders causally suggested that I take an iPad picture of it. That way I could show it to parents who want to know the criteria of the project, email it to students who want to keep working on it, and save it for future years. Duh, what a novel idea!

We got our iPads!
Just in time for GT English 7, our CT rolled in the new cart of iPads. Everything worked out really well today, since they were doing a Writing Workshop with their essays. They all logged into Google Docs, opened their essays and read away!

GoAnimate Video
Check out this awesome video that one of my 6th graders made. Their assignment was to create a personal narrative about a choice they've made. Our JMS/PBL/Tech twist is that it had to be a personal narrative movie about a choice they've made about going green/helping the envirnoment. Enjoy!
