Math (Polygons)Purpose
For students to be able to connect what they have learned about polygons to the real world and to practice recognizing and naming different types of polygons.Brief description The students would have had lessons of what a polygon is and different types of polygons. In groups of 4 or 5 they will have to go out with a video camera and tape different pictures of different polygons they find around their house, on street signs, buildings, etc. The students will have to video tape the polygon and will talk about the polygon and answer questions like why they picked it, what kind of polygon is it, what makes it a polygon, etc.
The students can also take pictures of the polygon and scan it or download them onto their computer and they can place the picture in the video and then have a student talk about it while:
- The picture is still visible.
- Or the student can be holding it while he/she is talking.
- Or they can show the picture and then switch to the student talking.
The students will then use a computer to put the video together and edit it. I will encourage them to be creative and original and they will have to play their video to the class for the other students to listen to their explanations and see their examples.Resources I will give them a worksheet that shows them all of the different polygons so they can use it while they are out comparing and looking for polygons.

Grade level(s) 1st - 5th grade Content area(s) Writing Purpose Students will have the opportunity to write a short script and act it out, creating a class story. It will give students the chance to see their writing in a published form, and will build classroom community. Brief description This activity is based on the idea of round robin story telling. Instead of verbally telling the story, or writing the next sentence, students will perform it on video. The next group will receive the tape, view the segment before them, and then create their own segment.
The class will choose a topic or prompt that they would like to write a story about. The students will be divided into groups of 3, and each group will write a script and then film their 2-3 minute segment. This activity will be done throughout the school year, with each group viewing the segment before them on Monday, and completing their segment by Friday. By the time all the groups are finished, the class will view their completed story, showcasing all of their scripts and acting.
**This activity could be adjusted for different grade levels and timeframes. For example, the script times could be shortened, or students could do the project within a group of 4, so it wouldn’t be extended throughout the school year.**Resources Video Camera What is the highest level of Bloom's taxonomy reached?
