This blog post contains three different activities that you can incorporate with your Unit 10 Imagine It! “I am Brave!” lessons. They provide opportunities for students to get “plugged in” to enhance learning by using different applications on iPads to create products to represent their learning throughout the unit.
PicCollage Workstation
The first lesson is for students to create a picture collage of their fears. The students will brainstorm their fears (at least 3). They will access Google Images to find photographs of things they are afraid of. Examples: snakes, spiders, lightning, etc. Students will save the selected images to their camera roll on the iPad and use those specific images to create their picture collage. The students will use iPads to access the PicCollage application where they will upload the photos of their fears to create a collage. This will allow students to acknowledge that they have fears so they are able to better connect with the characters in the stories throughout the unit.
Before completing this task, students will need to know how to search an image on google, save images to the iPad’s camera roll. They will also need to be familiar with the PicCollage application and its feature (ie how to upload photographs from the camera roll and manipulate the pictures to create a collage). Students will also need to know how to upload an image to their student journal on SeeSaw. You will have needed to have introduced Unit 10 “I am Brave!”
For this activity, you will need PicCollage Application, Google Images, SeeSaw If you are uncomfortable giving students access to Google Images, students can draw pictures of their fears on small index cards and take a picture of them using the iPads camera. They can complete the rest of the task as stated. If your students need a refresher, click here to get a crash course in PicCollage! Click here to view the PicCollage tutorial.
If time permits or you feel students are capable, in the PicCollage application, students can label their different fears. Students will need to save their PicCollage on the iPad’s camera roll. Then students can upload the photo into SeeSaw to save in their journal to revisit for an end of the unit activity. Click here to view a quick tutorial on how to use Seesaw.
