Narrative
Cultivating Creative Communicators
This is one of three culminating lessons for a unit on insects completed by a group of kindergarten students. The goal was for students to create an artifact that would house the knowledge they had acquired about bees. Teachers wanted the artifact to creatively communicate this knowledge to their parents and other students during Open House. Students used the Pages, Skitch and Explain Everything applications in their iPads to create an interactive poster about bees.
