Miss Foley’s 7th grade social studies classes created talk shows and interviewed special guests, Andrew Carnegie or John Rockefeller (USII3.d). This assignment strengthened their research skills as they found information on their “special guest.” (research & information fluency) The students worked in groups and each assigned a different task. They had to learn to collaborate and rely on each other to get the job done in a timely manner. The roles included a web designer, video editor, and writer. (communication & collaboration)
The talkshows were video taped, uploaded on the student laptops, and edited by the students using iMovie. Once complete the videos then embedded onto a web page created using iWeb.
