How you would expect students to complete the assignment: Students will work on the research and create the Haiku Decks at school. Tools and Resources: www.haikudeck.com www.ncpedia.com Tools provided to students: students will be provided with an ipad and internet access to use during the project. Tutorials and templates provided students: How to make a haikudeck: https://youtu.be/S2cxFVixxxE How to use padlet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajIR5cGiX48 Resources/Tools to differentiate content or process for students: You can adjust the amount of information or the number of slides for differentiation. You can pair students if need be as well. Timeline: • • • Day 1: Model how to access www.ncpedia.org on the smartboard and how to look up biographies or use search bar. Distribute biography template. Make sure students understand expectations of research, template. Students use ipads to search for information. Day 2: On the smartboard in whole group, model how to create an account using www.haikudeck.com. Demonstrate how to create a title slide, paragraph slide and bullet points. Demonstrate how to move text around. Demonstrate how to use key words to search for images. Distribute ipads and have students create their own accounts. Days 3 & 4: Distribute ipads, have students log in and use their biography. • • Day 4-‐5: Have students revise. Create a padlet at https://padlet.com/ . Create a QR code for the padlet URL at http://www.qrstuff.com/. Have students scan the QR code and copy and paste their Haiku Decks. Teachers can embed the padlet into their websites for easy access and have projects in all one place. See example here: http://sms.davidson.k12.nc.us/departments/finearts/carolhinson/collaborative_ projects/ Closure and Reflection (including reinforcement activities and bridges/scaffolding to next level) • Plan to have some technical difficulty. • Practice with padlet, qr code and haiku deck first to make sure you don’t run into problems. • Students can present directly from the padlet using a smartboard. • Have some music on standby. We had another laptop with speakers to play NC musician’s music before and after each student presented. Suggested extension activities: • Create fakebook profiles for NC musicians: http://www.classtools.net/FB/home-page • Create a website for NC musicians: https://sites.google.com/ • Create a GIS map of NC musicians: http://www.esri.com/news/arcuser/1000/cairo.html
