The Best Part of Me: A Multimedia Poetry Unit

This project showcases the work of Orca teacher Katherine Law and her former students. As part of their work with a poet-in-residence, the students wrote poems about themselves, and used digital cameras to create a classroom book. The photography portion was inspired by the work of Wendy Ewald. The next step was to record students reciting their poety. The final step was to put everything together using Photostory 3.

Creating a Video Scrapbook

Final projects have been a long-time instructional strategy that teachers use to culminate units of learning. These projects take many forms like book reports, dioramas, and science fairs. During the last few years, computers have given teachers and students the ability to explore learning in a new and exciting format that combines sounds, text, and images as a means to express learning. When multimedia projects are combined with sound instructional practices, students are motivated to higher levels of learning.
For this activity you will use an application called Phototstory 3 to create a movie using captured images and audio recordings to describe the new ways you are using your presentation station.
