Courtney Hollister Claymont High School One product a student could create is a short **video**, either documentary style or perhaps a commercial. This past year, my students created brochures about a chosen planet and I can see technology enhancing this lesson by allowing the students to create a short video about their planet, including pictures and audio. In another class, the students worked a scientist project. They chose a scientist, created a brochure and then a presentation. I can see the students creating a commercial to draw attention to their scientist and their accomplishments. Another product could be a **Prezi**. I used this for the last assignment in Week 5 and I really liked it. This is a great alternative to a normal PowerPoint. Students could use this to demonstrate their knowledge about a variety of topics and then could present that information to the class. Students could work in groups or it could be an individual assignment. A final product could be creating a **Voice Thread** and/or contributing to one. This could be a whole group discussion or students could expand their Voice Thread to others around the world. I was looking through the website and found one about Chernobyl and I thought my students could contribute to that when we talk about nuclear energy. Students could create or contribute to a Voice Thread about global warming, overpopulation, class field trips and more. Some other ideas I had were creating podcasts or creating a Facebook page for a famous scientist. (Thanks Andy for that idea).

** Christine Milcetich ** ** Firestone High School ** ** Description of idea / link – what do the numbers really mean??? ** 1. TED Videos - [] 2. Wordle - [] 3. Students will take a set of data and analyze it as their final product. The data can come from any internet site such as baseball, football, basketball, Census report, state report cards, etc. Student will then create a video and upload this video to YouTube.

** Kelsi Barnhart ** ** Claymont High School ** 1) ﻿Comic Strip/ Cartoon- I give an assignment for students to make a cartoon about DNA replication. This could be done using any of several cartoon making websites- Pixton for Schools, Super Action Comic Maker or PikiKids. The stuents would be given a set of list of things that must be included and then allowed to be creative with how they integrate that infromation into a comic strip. 2) Cell Song Video- I have often given the assignment for students to create a song about an animal or plant cell and all its structures and functions. An update on this would be to have them make a video of this, like any other music video. They would perform the song and we would post it online. This could be used for review before a test. 3) Create a book about the stillwater creek watershed using Blurb or Snapfish. Each spring (after the OGT pressure) we do a unit on water quality and finish with a creek study where the kids spend an afternoon collecting data about the water and the macroinvertebrates found in the water. We could create a "textbook" or class book ab out the experiences. They could use a digital camera to take pictures of the organisms and then make a page in the book about it. Candid shots could be included. We use hand held data collection tools for measurments like pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, etc. The students can create a GoogleDocs spreadsheet for sharing and logging of this information. Perhaps we could even monitor the water throughout the year and add to the document monthly to observe the changes in the water and its quality over the course of the school year.

Poetry Unit

Students could demonstrate their ability to interpret a poem's meaning/theme by using one of the following technologies:

1) scrap blog - They could use words and images connected to the poem's ideas to present an artistic, visual interpretation of the poem 2) audacity - They could write music to fit the poem's mood and create an interpretive song based on the poem 3) wiki - They could blog about their opinion/take on the poem and then have a discussion with other students who respond, much like we do with wiki or moodle.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Hopefully options would allow different types of learners to make a choice that would interest them and best help them delve deeper into the poem! Since the final products would be published, students would have an opportunity to view each other's work, see the poem from another viewpoint, and engage in deeper discussion based on what they find.

David Parks Firestone High School English- Tears of a Tiger lesson

1. The first would be to create a video or a trailer for the book. After the book is read, have the students analyze the high points and content of the book and figure out a way to make the video/trailer to be appealing to the other students in the room.

2. In this book, the main character makes many mistakes including drinking and driving, which kills his best friend and suicide. Have the students create a voice thread which allows all of them to express thoughts and concerns that they can share with other students to give them awareness about these topics.

3. Have the students create comic strips with the idea of sharing them with friends as awareness cards against drinking and driving. Something that could be printed off and laminated so it could be handed out to people.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">1. Blog post summarizing what they learned in the lesson to the class wiki

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">2. Create a visual summary of what they learned through the use of a technology tool such a PowerPoint, Paint, Creately, etc

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">3. Create a comic strip summarizing the lesson or comparing/contrasting the lesson to previous lessons/topics through the use of a technology tool such as Bitstrips, Pixton, Pikikids, etc

**<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">End of the Year Review **
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Students can choose any topic that was covered throughout the year and then create a R.A.F.T. assignment. Here is a link to the R.A.F.T assignment http://daretodifferentiate.wikispaces.com/R.A.F.T.+Assignments 1. Video dealing with a concept that was learned 2. Facebook or other social media posting about a concept 3. Blog or wiki entries about a concept I have examples of these that I would like to post, but they are on the schools hard drive and I don't have access from home.

1) Students, in groups, can create a wiki of written review problems. Students will create story problems involving mult-steps and integration, differentiation, and limits. 2) Presentation of solutions to the problems, with written explanations. Students must show a four part solution: Graphical, tables, analytic (algebraic), and a written explanation. Students can use a variety of ways to present their work: videos, blogs, voice threads, wikis. 3) Students can create a wordle of their written explanation to explore the vocabulary required for success on the AP test.

 * Public Research Paper**

Students will choose a research topic on an issue that matters to them and put the information that they have researched into an appropriate format beyond the classroom to begin addressing the issue through public discourse. 1) Write a series of blogs responding to the issue they have addressed. For instance, if the student has tackled the issue of intolerance in any one of its many forms, he/she could post to blogs that address the issue, or could spark a debate on TED. 2) Create a campaign flyer, brochure, or newsletter for their topic. The campaign against texting while driving or serving as a Big Brother or Sister for a child who needs a positive role model his/her life could benefit with a publication produced by a person from this age bracket. 3) Present a power point demonstration to a community group or government agency that would learn what the student learned from researching this topic in the hope of establishing critical connections within the community or school district.
