5th graders have made book trailers for our library!

Over the past 5-6 weeks students have chosen a book in our library (that they have read), created a script (see worksheet below), made their videos using ChatterPix and graded their classmates using a rubric.

Research, Modification, Development and Prototype Building

4/5/2018

0 Comments

 

Over the course of 8 weeks the 4th and 5th graders were engaged in a unit that involved:

  • researching an invention that already exists with multiple databases
  • choosing to modify that invention into something that helps humans, animals or the planet
  •  developing a detailed sketch (blueprint) of the invention or modification that included detailed parts, drawing parts that move, explaining what each part does and what materials it is made of
  • answering questions about where this product would be sold and for what price, would your friends purchase it?
  • building a model of the invention using our library recyclables MAKERSPACE 
  • having a limit on how many supplies they could use each day (replicating funding and resource scarcity) 
  • experiencing a time limit of three 20 minute sessions to complete
  • developing questions to ask other teams about their inventions based on all the previous steps

Marilyn Singer's reverso poems are quite interesting. She writes a poem then reverses the lines in a mirroring poem and has two different viewpoints! Our 4th and 5th graders used an app called "ChatterPix" to make the images in these books come alive!
