We are making headway in our research on tornadoes. After allowing J to look around on the websites to satisfy his attention, we discussed how best to present our information so that students would be interested and also how we could make it cool. We discussed that filming him was not allowed through the school district so we talked about using pictures that we found on our legitimate resources and have him narrate the facts that we decided were the most important. I told him that we could even play around with his voice recording and he thought that would be the coolest thing. These facts we got from our KWL chart from the previous session's work, but we went through it together to figure out which were the most important facts for our audience to know obut tornadoes.
We spent our session creating a powerpoint and locating pictures to fit our facts. We spoke again about the importance of using legitimate resources even for pictures. At the end of our presentation we put a works cited page. I explained to J why it was important to let people know where we got our information. I told him how important it was to let people know that we did not take these photos ourself and give credit where credit is due. I posed the question "how would you feel if someone took the video we are going to create and say they did it?" That really hit the spot. He made sure to tell the speech pathologist who stopped by to see his projcet, why he had to credit people.
I cannot wait to try out his voice recording!
