First students wrote their thesis and topic sentences, and then got feedback from the teacher. Then they filled in their supporting details, followed by their “hook”. They then filled in the background section and will write their conclusion last. The last column helps them to plan out what images and text they will include on each slide and to match the slide with the content. Nelson Taylor, middle school technology teacher, will also work with students to learn best practices for creating and presenting using Keynote.
Presentation skills are very important. In 7th grade Language Arts we are using a graphic organizer (an Essay Outline Guide) in Google Docs to improve student's writing and help them prepare a presentation of their ideas. Google docs allows students to see the organization of an essay in a very visual and flexible format, which helps all learners, but especially visual learners. The fact that it is a Google doc makes it easy for teacher Pat Micelli to give ongoing feedback.
