Final Project 6016 

Anita Simon Grade Level: Kindergarten Subject Area: Science

Objective: Students will be able to illustrate their work about the four seasons using technology.

Hand - it in/Publish it:

__Hand it in teaching __ Each student will receive a sheet of drawing paper, where they would draw a picture about their favorite season. Then I am going to put some of their pictures on the bulletin board outside of the classroom. This is what I would normally do when students have to draw a picture about something talked about in class.

__Publish it teaching __ Students will be able to go on Do Ink to illustrate their picture using technology tools. After students finish creating their artwork/project we would be able to publish it on Do Ink, in order to make a slide show animation of their work. On Do Ink, students will also be able to write words to describe their pictures. Eventually I would take them to Storybird to create a classbook about the four seasons. This way the students will have two pieces of work they created.

Project-Based Learning I would incorportate project-based learning, by allowing students to choose their favorite season. Students will also be able to describe their season in their own words and by drawing a picture using Do Ink to illustrate their picture to the class. Students will be able to identify the four seasons by observing classmates pictures. Students will have the opportunity to talk about their picture and what the season means to them when they present their project to the class. This project will be a more hands on approach to learning. I will facilitate and monitor them as they work on their project using Do Ink.

Compare the weather patterns that occur from season to season.

With this project, I think I am going to use a rubric and a class checklist. I love the checklist because it can be an whole class participation. The students will be able to give me some ideas on what things they would want on their checklist. This way the students be involved in the assessment process for their projects. I would also do a rubric of some things I would like to see in their finish work. When I look at each students work I want to be able to see them use as many details as possible to describe their picture. I also want students to use words and sentences in their project. Students will also, have to be able to share their final project to the class about their season.
