Collaborative Reading

Children read their guided reading using a pdf that has was shared into their Reading folders on their Google Drive.  Each group receives a reading specific to their group.  (This would be Substitution - exchanging physical books for online reading)

Students wrote questions pertaining to their reading and shared them with one other student who then answered their questions.   Students and teacher provide feedback.  This would be Modification, as the students create their own questions, share online, and receive feedback on line.  Redefinition would be sharing this outside of our classroom with another school or inserting video and interactive questions and answers.

Google Draw and Art

This week for Art week at our school the children will be using Google Drawings to create a Roy Lichtenstein inspired piece of art.

To view the lesson click HERE.

This would be a sample of Modification.  The children are using online tools to create and then share their designs online.  They are working independently on their own projects so there is no collaboration.  Their art projects are not animated nor do they link to anything else, both of which would take this exercise into the realm of Redefinition.
