Rules & Laws

The students in Ms. Kouri’s 3rd grade class at Greenwood have been studying rules and laws in social studies. As part of their assessment, students have the option to create a poster, audio or video recording, or an animation. Today, I assisted students with using Audacity to record themselves reading their “Radio Broadcast.” The students exported their finished recordings and uploaded them to their teacher via Google Classroom.

I also worked with a group that wanted to use the Stop Motion Animation app on the iPads. They had already constructed characters out of cubes and wrote a script, but they wanted to use Stop Motion to put it all together. Students took lots of pictures, carefully moving the characters a tiny bit for each frame. Then they recorded their voice over the video to explain the rules and laws that they were addressing.

To share their work, the students saved their videos to the camera roll and then logged into Google Classroom on the iPads to upload their video to their teacher. Take a look at this finished student work sample:
