Third graders will write, edit with classmates and teachers, and practice reading stories until fluent. They will record their work in Garageband, take pictures of themselves using Photo Booth, and choose music for their production. Students will then add pictures and music to their recorded stories. Podcasts will be created and posted on a blog on the internet that will allow students from other schools to view and listen to the stories, and make comments back to the writers. Students will create a trading card over various presidents. The card will be a MS word template where students will fill in the text boxes and image areas using information found at the website "Washington DC Scavenger Hunt." This following website http://www.ipl.org/div/potus/ also has information that also can be used. ||  ||
