 | Forest Trail First Graders know their animals. In January, the students in Shannon Harvey's, Sophie Goralski's, Jordan Dunagan's, and Mallory Brightwell's classes engaged in an animal research project that included web research, summarizing, diagramming, keynote creating, QR code reading, and project sharing. |
 | Students began with a mind map for the animal of their choice, which contained 4 main ideas. They used a great site: A to Z Index of Animals to gather information about each main idea. |
 | They drew a picture and wrote a paragraph about each topic on their mind map. |
Using the research sites on their iPads, they created diagrams, book pages and book covers for their animal research.
Finally, when they had all of their facts, diagrams and drawings completed, they were ready to build their Keynote presentations.
These 1st graders had no problems with text boxes, fonts, graphics, and slide organization in Keynote!

Student drawings of their animals were created in different media and displayed in the hall.

Mrs. Brightwell added QR codes to her student drawings, enabling parents, staff and students to view the keynote they created about their research.
