Collaborative research project with ELL, Sped, and 2nd grade
In the beginning the adults met and collaborated on how we were going to teach it, and the process involved. My practicum students were also involved with this lesson.
We used Keynote presentations to introduce the students to the project (Shadow Puppet). Then the students worked in pairs to find pictures. Then I also had a Level 1 ELL student come in and help be a teacher. The students worked together to take pictures, find the pictures, import the pictures, and then record it all on Shadow Puppet. The hardest part was to find a silent room where the students could record, and they had to have an adult with them to use a room. The students were so excited to do this and loved every moment of it.
As we regrouped to talk about how it went, we thought that our next steps for next year would be to have the students reflect on each others projects ( 2 stars and a wish), which goes along with our writing problem. This was a great experience for all of us and I am so glad that I did this project!
collaboration is such a great thing to do and you must have a lot of fun of doing it. Personally speaking, i am person who love to do things with others as i could always be promoted to another higher level of thinking and get some ideas from others. The feeling of self-improvement is great though!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea. I know next year's students could handle it.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with this project! It sounds awesome! The kids will remember this for sure.
ReplyDeleteI did something similar with Puppet EDU and loved it too! Students did a great job of giving each other feedback and the Shadow Puppet videos were so engaging. I also created a symbaloo of videos once we were finished, so it was very easy to share with anyone!
