Visual Literacy in Social Studies - for each chapter, we use a Keynote presentation to introduce the new vocabulary with our classes. The presentation incorporates visual images of each word, a definition, and additional facts about the vocab and/or region being studied. We exported the Keynote as a QuickTime movie to embed on this page. If you click on the link, the slideshow will begin; you'll need to click on each slide to move to the next page.

Cause and Effect books We study cause and effect in language. Our students wrote cause and effect scenarios, took digital photos of their classmates acting out their scenarios, and used those images to create a Keynote (PowerPoint) presentation about cause and effect. They shared this presentation on our school's morning television show.



 VoiceThead We use VoiceThread as a method for the students to narrate about what they have learned or created. We like the fact that the students' parents can not only watch their child's work, but can also type or record responses for our class. This is a VoiceThread that one of our classes created as an introduction to plane figures. media type="custom" key="5373331" We use Keynote, Comic Life, Pages and Voicethread to present learned content in Science and Social Studies.**

Below is an example of a 6th grade Social Studies project completed using Voicethread. We were studying Ancient Egypt and this project was about the mummification process.
