Story Elements
5a
I designed this GoogleSlides presentation to supplement a unit on story elements. In kindergarten one of the biggest topics we teach is story elements. A challenge with teaching this is that most kindergarten students cannot read and rely entirely on visuals. The slideshow is full of visuals so that my students can easily grasp the concept. I provided images for vocabulary words as well as definitions of the different story elements. The slideshow was meant to be used throughout the unit. There are text references, videos, and pictures of books we have read in the past. My students were also give an opportunity to video one another on iPads to assess their knowledge of the story elements.
GEOMETRY UNIT
5b and 5c
I designed this GoogleSlides presentation to supplement a geometry unit that was taught in second grade. The slideshow went along the the current curriculum and second grade geometry standards. It was designed to give more real world examples and to assist the teacher in whole group discussion. The slideshow is full of vocabulary, visuals, and tasks. The students were able to access the slideshow from home to help with homework. Within the slideshow are activities and digital tools they can access from home as well. There is also an embedded screencast I created that explains the basics of the online geo-board activity. This slideshow allows unique individuals to access the information independently when it is needed.
