I started off the New Year with a Nature walk with a 5th grade class at Lakeview Elementary (21 students). They have a nice wooded trail at their school. This is actually a “writing/story telling” exercise in that we want them to take pictures (they have iPads) along the trail. Then they should pick one or many pictures that motivates them to write a story. They can use as many of their pictures in the story telling, they can look up some others to add in or they can draw some things to add in (one student was drawing a “book cover” for their story).
I look forward to reading/hearing these stories.
I showed a couple of students how to get started with iMovie so that they could narrate their story. I also showed a couple of others how to do the same in Google Slides.
Amazingly enough, I have been on 4 walks on this trail and have failed to take a single picture.
I will work on that.
I did mark some waypoints, but need to do more to get a better outline of the whole trail (those were for key locations)
(finally some pics of the trail :
