GRADE 2 - Symbols & Landmarks Unit

This is Mrs. Roderick's class project on Symbols and Landmarks. Students researched during their library period each landmark, and, using library books and pre-selected web sites, wrote down two interesting facts that they had learned on each landmark or symbol. Then, as a class, each child picked their most interesting or unusual fact, made sure it was a complete sentence (CPS!) and then recorded it in their own voice on the appropriate powerpoint slide.

Here's where I think powerpoint really shines! It is so much easier for students in Grade 2 to record their sentences on a slide, instead of typing them on the slide. While keyboarding is an important skill, I am not sure which skill is going to eventually win out - keyboarding or texting using the thumbs!
So Powerpoint gives us the best of all worlds!
