Prepare to be blown away in Unit 10! Windy Days is a fun, interactive and engaging unit in which you will breeze through Computer Science and Digital Literacy Content Standards by the use of apps like epic!, BOOK CREATOR, Kahoot! and Seesaw. You will use SeeSaw to document student accountability and responses, epic! to view and read a collection of books about wind, and Book Creator to dictate and create digital illustrations of written work. To end the unit you will use Kahoot! to create of use a fun and interactive assessment which can be played in groups or pairs depending on the available amount of technology in your classroom.
At the beginning of the unit, preferably Day 1, you will assign a collection of books in epic! You will be required to establish a teacher account and be sure to download epic! on student iPads for them to use. In this app the books should be related to wind for the students to read or listen to while in your reading center during workstations. Once the student has read or listened to a story, they will then write and illustrate something they learned about wind from the story. They will then use the SeeSaw writer’s workshop activity to upload their student reflection into their individual journals on SeeSaw. You will need to create a teacher page in Seesaw and down app on student iPads.
Teacher Tip* You will need to share this activity with your class prior to assigning the Writers Workshop. Please click here for a quick tutorial.
