  3. Collaborative Writing Sites • Let’s try some collaborative writing. Below is a list of sites designed to allow multiple writers to collaborate on written projects.

  4. Research Projects • To write up fact-based research projects, students need to summarize clearly and concisely. Using tools designed for presentations requires them to reduce information into short, concise statements.  Take a look at some examples of written summaries enhanced with images by using presentation tools such as Prezi, PhotoPeach and Sliderocket to write about people, places and processes. •  People: Research an author, scientist, innovator, politician…someone who has made a difference. •   Example using Prezi:  Mary Anning • Places: Research a specific aspect of your city or region, or another place you want to learn more about. •   Example using PhotoPeach: The Architecture of Old Montreal  • Processes: Describe a process in 10-15 steps. The process could be related to a topic you are studying, a hobby or your field of interest.

  5. Describing a process • Processes: Describe a process in 10-15 steps. The process could be related to a topic you are studying, a hobby or your field of interest. •    Examples of Student Slideshows using Sliderocket: • How to Change a Flat Tire • How to Make Cupcakes • How to Administer Medication • How Aircraft Mechanics Do a Pre-Flight Inspection

  6. Turn it into a plan • Make it a reality • Do the math 2+2= 1 • Choose two of the sites mentioned on this presentation. • Create a lesson plan and post it on your blog to have your students create an artifact for English class.
