Directions: This lesson is based upon information found in the 5th grade Scott-Foresman Social Studies textbook on pages 202-203, 210-214, and 216-220. Before the computer lab
activity: Download*
all or part of this 12 minute video from the KLRN/Unitedstreaming
site on our Intranet. Each teacher on the grade level does
not need to separately download; just one of you can download and
place it in your Staff Shared Fifth Grade folder on the server or burn
it onto a CD for everyone. Then
you can all play it on your televisions from your multimedia computers. (Make
sure you all have accounts with KLRN and have downloaded Windows Media Player 9 before trying to watch them
on your TV!) Just search by keyword for this title: The Early Colonists: Home Sweet Home. Click on Signs of our Times to view the students' expectation page. Right click and select 'Save Target As'; then navigate where you would like to save the document. This document explains what students they are expected to do for this project. (Feel free to modify the expectations to best suit your students and their needs.) Each student will: 1. Create an Inspiration product illustrating at least four areas we should consider as we compare how life was different during colonial times from your life today. (work, economy, school, clothing, religion, reading, entertainment, communication, meals, travel) 2. Use your Social Studies textbook, pages 202-203, 210-214, 216-220, the KLRN video The Early Colonists: Home Sweet Home, and PowerPoint to create a product that displays what life was like during colonial times and how your life is different today. Be sure to include each of the different areas you identified in your Inspiration product. 3. Add a
slide to your
slideshow with one of Benjamin Franklin?s clever sayings from Poor
Richard?s Almanac, found on page 219 of your textbook, and give
us your viewpoint on it. Explain why you agree or disagree. 4. Add
one more slide to end your slideshow
with a clever saying or piece of advice of your own. Remember to add in cool pictures and sounds! You can even record your own voice. How to Send Inspiration to PowerPoint Once your students have created and saved their Inspiration web/diagram, follow the directions above to show your students how to export and send Inspiration to PowerPoint. The cool thing about this step is that once your students complete this process, they will have a new PowerPoint slideshow set up that has a slide for each category ("bubble") from their Inspiration web. Then they can format the background, change fonts, add text and pictures to complete their project. They'll need to add two extra slides for steps 3 and 4 (the sayings of Ben Franklin and me). Culminating
activity: Present their
slideshows up on the classroom TV or screen. *Download Instructions for KLRN Site |
