Writing with the World

The students just recently finished writing stories with other students from Kansas and Turkey. The students were partnered up with 5th graders from across the country and the world. Their objective was to write a story about being caught in a snow storm. The students had to write back and forth until the story was completed. After the story was finished, the students pasted their finished stories into a wordle. The wordle gave the students an idea of what words they were overusing. Take a look at an example below. You can see the other wordles and stories on the writing wiki or on the students’ blogs.

The students enjoyed using the interactive website Story Bird this past week. The website allows you to use other people’s illustrations to create your own story. There are plenty of themes to choose from. In each theme, there are several illustrations to help create your book. If you really like the book, you can buy it or embed it for free. Take a look at Olivia’s book Where’s Bob?

The students got hands-on with our atmosphere lesson this week. Their assignment was to find the average temperatures of an inland city and a coastal city. After gathering their research on the iPod Touch, they had to input the data in a double line graph. The project illustrates the affect oceans have on temperature. The students not only sharpened their science skills during this lesson but also their math. You can see their results by going to their science wiki. The link is under the wiki section on the side bar.
