Students will use digital graphic organizers to help them complete Activity 1 and allow them to plan their Podcast. Once they have presented their podcast, students will work in small groups and create a digital poster on their viewpoints about electric cars, public transportation, and how technology has changed our world.  The goal of the students’ presentation is to inform and possibly persuade others about technology.

How Important IS the Constitution, Anyway?

(View Complete Item Description)

While students are reading and learning about the U.S Constitution (using Wonders Unit 2 Weeks 1 and 2 as well as information learned during their Social Studies curriculum) they will use a digital timeline to create an interactive Makey Makey timeline. Students will work in cooperative groups to create an interactive timeline to share important events in history according to their personal opinion and from information gathered during their readings. After students create the interactive timeline and share they will then work on an individual Journal entry using Book Creator. The journal entry will feature a writing piece on what it was like to live during the times of American colonists. Students will be able to read other classmates’ journal entries and discuss important viewpoints. At the end of the lesson, students will record themselves using Flip Grid to express how the U.S Constitution is relevant to today’s society.
