Animal Adaptation Research Report

Here are a series of videos that I made during science today with the students of Mrs. Follett and Mrs. Tinholt. This was designed to be a FAQ for students with questions on their research report.

Lesson 9.3 and a Revision

Here is Drew's effort for 9.3. As you can see, we are starting to add some more visuals to what is on the Impress slides. I think that this will help add to our presentation style. We'll see how it goes for what Drew creates for lesson 9.5.



Also, here is the revised version of lesson 9.2 with a correction to a math error.

Here is a link to the VoiceThread that I created as part of the Big 9.

Harcourt Math Lesson 9.2 4th Grade

In this video, Drew does a really nice job of showing how to use the order of operations to solve multi-operation expressions. In the video, he does a great job of trimming the screen to focus only on the Impress slides. He also changed his pen color to blue so that it would show up better on the screen. We still have some work to do on clarifying explanations, but I feel that we are making great progress in a short amount of time.

Revised

Here is the revised video that Drew made. This is the video that we will put on our website for students to rely on for additional help when we get to Lesson 9.1 Great work, Drew!

Drew's First Attempt

Here is Drew's first draft attempt at making and narrating a video from scratch. There are a few hiccups and errors, but we're going to give it another shot at afternoon recess to see if he can nail it. Looking good so far!
