Wizard of Oz - Point Of View

The students read the book, Wizard of Oz. Each student selected one of the characters and changed their point of view from 3rd person to 1st person. The students wrote what the character was up to before Dorothy enters the story. After the students finished their writing, they recorded themselves speaking in the voice of that character. They illustrated the character and we put the final project into a keynote slide show.

Video Announcements

A New Way to Share Morning Announcements!

Link to video 

Instead of reading announcements over the intercom, try doing Video announcements. It's easier than you think! You will need an iPad and access Google Drive or another type of online storage. Videos are uploaded to Google Drive and a link is shared through a district messaging system. The teachers access the link each morning and the students watch the announcements in their classroom. The students love it!

**The students have used iMovie to edit this video. This isn't something we do with every video. This is just a bonus. When the teacher has time, the students will edit the announcements.
