6th Grade Ancient Egypt Project

In 6th Grade Tech and Social Studies, we have been very busy learning all about Ancient Egypt.  For the 6th graders technology project, they were asked to chose a topic regarding Ancient Egypt they were interested in, research important facts and details, dig deep and find some generally unknown facts, then create a digital project to share their learning with everyone.

Many students chose to create some type of movie.  Some used a Green Screen background and filmed themselves to really put themselves into the Ancient Egypt environment.  Other students used modeling clay, Legos, or Barbies to create Stop Motion movies.  A few of these students used a combination of Green Screen and Stop Motion together to create a really interesting project. Most students were able to do final editing using iMovie for a finished product.

 Other students decided to use different apps or websites to create their project.  The app ChatterKids by Duck Duck Moose was a great option for a few students who gave a voice to an image to do the teaching for us.  Another website that was used was Smore.  This was a great way for students to show their research in writing, adding images, and videos to teach us about their topic.

The 6th graders at Postville worked really hard the past few weeks to create this project as a way to share their learning with their classmates and teachers.  If you are able, please check out their projects and leave some comments for them!
