As part of our Social Studies curriculum, we study each of the regions of the United States. In December, we learned about the Southeast while asking such essential questions as "What are the important aspects of this region?" and "Why is it important to learn about the Southeast region?" As a culminating activity, pairs of students researched a particular state using books and iPads. They then wrote a script for the perspective of a particular character, combining their research from multiple sources. The class then memorized their scripts and recorded them on an iPad using a green screen and app. Mrs. Klipfel led us through this whole project; we are very grateful for her (as always)! Watch the final version of our class video here!
