11:5 Thing #2

Wordle: Untitled

For this image, I copied and pasted verses in the bible that pertained to Jesus. It was interesting to see the main ideas pop out. Students could use this to copy and paste text from non-fiction articles to determine main ideas.

I am going to have students use Videotracer to record discussions that take place in book clubs/ lit. circles.

Bookr would be good to use to have students document an event in time, such as a memoir, fieldtrip experience, or even a historical event. Students could also use Bookr to document the main events in a story, perhaps tracing the changes a character went through.

I created the following Animoto to use it as a prewriting activity (listing). Students view the video and write down connections or ideas for writing. I usually show the video several times and have students share ideas).
