trading cards lili

We made trading cards of character in mythology because we where learning about them. We learned about mythology and legend i like them both equally because they have there own interesting facts. I learn that Greek and roman mythology are very different. My favorite character is Aphrodite.

We did trading cards we head to chose 3 characters from the greek mythology and other things. I did la Llorona, Paul Bunyan , and Abominable snowman. I did like it was fun. I would want to learn more about legends because they were my favorite.

this are my cards of mythology

I think that it is all fake because back then they didn't have the thing that we have today. like the cyclops and others.  so we are making cards and at least 3 facts and a picture. I did Zeus and the under world and i did a telltale of John Henry.i thoght it was fun because i think that is cool with all the goods and all the powers.

I did three characters, and i wrote about them and what do they do or if they are real. I liked it because i got to write about some characters that i wanted to learn about. The most interesting character for me is Medusa because she turns people into stone when she looks at you in the eye, and she has snakes on her head.

Amanda-Mythology

       In our language arts class we got a new project where we make these trading cards about different kinds of characters. They all come from the unit we are learning about Mythology. I really liked this unit. I liked it because we got to learn about different kinds of stories. I liked how we read some actual stories about some characters. My favorite was Greek Mythology. So I did some trading cards on some of the things in Greek Mythology. They are Mount Olympus, Hera and Pegasus the winged horse.

Myth trading cards

This is what we did in language arts class yesterday and today. These are trading cards that we did. I did it on Greek gods. So i did Hades, Ares, and Hephaestus.

This unit was kind of fun. Some things that that we learned were about Greek gods. I learned that Greek gods and Roman gods have different names. Also that the myths were used to explain why the world is how it is now. That is what i liked about this unit.

Maritza's Trading Cards

These are trading cards that we did for our Language Arts Class. I did the Goddesses Athena and Artemis and then i did a other person called Persephone.I think that this unit was pretty easy and fun. The goddesses and Gods unit was easy also was the fairytale, tall tales, and mythology were easy and fun too.   Maritza

Book Trailers for 5th and 6th grade

This next post features my 5th and 6th graders for the first time!  This year we had a new event at our school, the 6th Grade Showcase and the students made book trailers for their book talk projects so we could show off our reading skills and our technology skills to their parents, friends and teachers.  The students used a program called WeVideo that we could link up to our Google Apps to create the videos. It is an awesome, easy to use, video making program that my school's Instructional Resource Coach (read - new name for a Library Media Specialist) taught me about.  We learned lots as we used it and the trailers turned out pretty good.  :) Here they are! Enjoy!

Middle School is the Worst book trailer
The Boy Project book trailer
The Legend of Jimmy Spoon book trailer
Holes book trailer
You book trailer
La Lista de tontos book trailer
Captain Underpants Book Trailer
Alien on a rampage book trailer  This one is my example about our read aloud book that I made to show the students what I was looking for from their videos.

Digital Storytelling

Lots going on for the end of the school year! These next few posts will be to share the big projects we have completed over this last quarter.  First up are the videos my 7th and 8th graders made about their literature circle books.  It was our first time (mine included) doing digital storytelling.  The students wrote Storyboards (sorta, some groups better than others :) lesson learned for next time!) and then created videos using iMovie and iMotionHD on the iPads to retell their books.  It is definitely a first effort but we learned a lot about how to make it better for next time.  Enjoy the videos!

(lots of bloopers in this one, if they spent as much time writing scripts as they did laughing they would have had an awesome video!) To learn more about this book see the students posts reflecting on their reading.

Reality Check by ana

We are done reading your book i think that are group did not do that we need to do. But after that i did like your project it was fun. Are video does not have all the pats to it only the most important. What i really like about your book is that hey did find her at lest at the end but was fun after all. I hope that u will read your book and you will like it.

                                                 video:oreo
I think are video went well and its really funny.Are group worked well and participated and got along pretty well. Probably are video is the funniest and we did the video correctly. We put what we wanted in the video.The video is in order and we all worked in the video,most of us were in the video.

End of Project. -Amanda

We finished reading our book so we started on our project. Our project was making a movie or trailer for our book. I didn't really like this project. I think we should of done a poster or a power point instead. It was fun though. I liked the book Reality Check because i like mysteries and it was interesting.

The Chocolate War

By: Art

I read the book The Chocolate War I did not like the book very much I think the project was a little bit fun. The only thing I would change is the people I worked with. We created a video in the iPad it was pretty easy because it was not very straight up and it was not very confusing.

Chocolate war project

This project was kind of fun. I liked the way we worked together most of the time. I would do this project another time with an action book. I think we could of done much better if we stayed on task more. That's what I think of this project.
