Gr. 7/8:
Media Lab: We took a break from working on the Wikipedia entry to look at the 5th and 6th grade media projects.
We also looked at our web 2.0 site of the week. This week we looked at Youtube. We looked at how user created content changes how we get information and entertainment. A minor comedian gets 6.9 million views on Youtube. A religious group posts a hip hop video. When the 5th grade did claymation we picked up tips by watching Youtube videos. The 5th grade posted a video onto Youtube. Would you have seen any of these things in the main stream media?
Gr. 6:
Media Lab: We watched the fantastic Cultural Connections News Program. The students did a great job! They were great actors and we learned alot about the Tasmanian Devil. Yeah! So what if we can’t post it on Youtube. I distributed DVDs to each student in class and I will post the program on a website with a password. CLICK HERE TO SEE IT! The ID is the town our school is in and the password is the last name of our principal.
Gr. 5:
Media Lab: We watched the Claymation Video on Youtube and in IMovie. Click here to see it. We also watched the 6th graders news movie about the Tasmanian Devil. We talked about the next steps toward filming the Bremin Town Musicians. We read the original version of the Bremin Town Musicians and tried to break the story up into “Episodes”. The problem is we came up with 7 episodes which is too many. Next week we will assign roles and discuss how we will solve the episode problem.
Gr. 4:
This week a girl chose a book on the supernatural. One boy did not want to read about anything too scary. I read the section that talks about the ghost of Abraham Lincoln in the White House. Winston Churchill and many other very prominent people including former presidents and first ladies have claimed that they have seen or heard the ghost of Abraham Lincoln in the White House. It was very interesting to read more about this popular legend.
Gr. 3:
This week the girl whose turn it was to pick a book to read was sick so we read the St. Patrick’s Day book Jamie O'Rourke and the Big Potato.
Gr. 2:
The second grade did research for their “50 State” project. Each student was assigned a different state by their teacher. I let each of them take a volume of the encyclopedia to their classroom and I also took out lots of state books from the Public library for the students to use.
Gr. 1:
We read the St. Patrick’s Day book Jamie O'Rourke and the Big Potato.
