0 Analyzing Attributes of Persuasive Text and Developing Persuasive Writing Skills with ChatterPix
5th grade teachers combined the literary skills (analyzing the attributes of persuasive text and developing persuasive writing skills) for
both reading and writing into a persuasive ChatterPix project.
Working cooperatively, students created a drawing for a specialty product, planned their “commercial” using
the “Commercial Planning Tool” page from Stead and Hoyt’s Explorations in
Nonfiction Writing (as well as a teacher-created rubric), then recorded their
commercial using the free app, ChatterPix. The results were entertaining and verified the students’ levels of
understanding of persuasive text.
Below are two finished examples:

0 A 2fer: Forms of Energy
Since both of my schools were studying Forms of Energy, I thought why not put both of their project ideas together in one post.
Bam! A 2fer! What a Deal!
3rd grade students at one school, downloaded four examples of forms of energy from Dropbox and utilizing the TypeDrawing app, wrote characteristics for each one. Then the four pictures were uploaded to the Strip Design app. (Direct Link)
My other school utilizied the apps, Wordfoto and Tellegami for their forms of energy project. Students created a Wordfoto brainstorming at least 5 characteristics of their form of energy. Using the Wordfoto as the background for their Tellegami presentation, they recorded what their form of energy was, how is it used and what would happen if they did not have that specific energy.

0 Famous Americans....Captured and QR'd!
An innovated teacher, at on one my campuses, came up with a unique idea for their Famous American curriculum writing project. 2nd grade students researched a Famous American and created apps which represented their specific Famous American. (See the example below). Once the research was completed, students created short videos (utilization the YouTube Capture app) depicting their Famous American. QR codes were created and added to the ipad template for students/parents to view.
