A Kindergarten Journey
Description As a means of enhancing and extending classroom studies, kindergarten students are creating an iMovie documenting their journey through their kindergarten year. Students choose, sort and organize pictures into sequential order to form an iMovie. They create a text slide for each picture, communicating ideas and describing the events depicted in each picture. Students write words and sentences for each picture by applying learned phonics skills. They use keyboarding skills to write words and sentences as well as track pad skills to compose and edit their iMovie. They choose the fonts, colors and sizes of the fonts along with the transitions used for each picture and text slide. Finally, students learn how to save and retrieve their files. Student Learning Outcomes Students sorted and organized pictures into a sequential order. Students wrote words and sentences by applying learned phonics skills. Students used keyboarding and track pad skills. Students learned how to choose files, open and quit programs, and retrieve/edit/save projects.
