Lesson Summary
Students researched a person from their 4th grade Social Studies curriculum. They compiled their research into a script in first person. Then they used PhotoSpeak to record their script over an image of their historical figure. The finished videos were uploaded to Seesaw. The embed codes from Seesaw and the Google Site were shared with students so they could upload their clue to the Google Site. The students also worked on building a Google Form with response validation to include on the Google Site for students answers. The published site will be posted on the Elementary Digital Breakout site that other 4th grade students in the county can use for review.
