Step 2: Choose Your Learning Focus

We’ll learn how to do simple research on a topic of your choice, take notes, organize sections, and perfect revising/editing tasks. At the end, we’ll share our work with each other and celebrate our growth as researchers and writers. Requires an iPad, Chrome Book, or other Laptop and wifi access.

We’ll choose a book to read – and really dive into it! We’ll learn to identify the overarching themes, understand how the characters grow and change, uncover the ways that the author keeps us engaged, and broaden our vocabulary with rich language from the text.

 

Books can be chosen or assigned based on grade level.

With our smart phones, we’ll experiment with artful techniques for taking and editing pictures on a theme. We’ll group them, set them to music, and write exciting sensory-rich captions to create a unique digital journal. Requires a smart phone and an iPad, Chrome Book, or other Laptop and wifi access.
