This lesson was done in Cheryl Ives’s 4th grade class at Glen Allen Elementary<\/a>.\u00a0 The lesson has been submitted to Henrico 21<\/a> for the 2011-2012 school year.\u00a0 In my opinion, this project is a great example on how to integrate multiple subjects and technology into a lesson.<\/p>\n

Summary from Cheryl Ives’s Henrico 21 Lesson Plan:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After completing our studies of Jamestown (VS3a-g), the students were challenged with creating video segments that would cover the topics that were studied in our unit. \u00a0The segments covered topics that included John Smith, Christopher Newport’s fleet, and Tobacco.\u00a0 The students created scripts, that were written in first-person, based on the study materials provided to them and facts that they have discovered while doing their own research. \u00a0The students had to find and create props and costumes that will help the audience recognize the topic they were speaking about. \u00a0The filming and editing of the final video product was organized and completed by the students in the classroom. \u00a0This project allowed the kids be creative and show their personalities in their work while expanding their knowledge of Jamestown.<\/p>\n
