Word ID Culminating Projects - Posters & Videos

 Check out the student work from our Word ID Culminating Activity. Students had six choices, that were based on the multiple intelligences, as ways to apply their understanding of prefixes and roots. Unfortunately, it was to hard to post any examples of the stories and songs, but below are great examples of posters and videos!

Choices included:
1) Writing a story that contained X number of prefixes/roots
2) Writing a poem or song that contained prefixes/roots
3) Creating pictures to go with real words that contain prefixes/roots or Jabberwocky words (made up words based on prefixes and roots)
4) Creating a prefix dance (that they preformed for the class)
5) Creating a video explaining what they learned
6) Determining the scientific name of various species and explain how the scientific name relates to the common name
7) I was open to other ideas - PowerPoints, Manga, etc.

Enjoy!!

Samples of Student Drawings:


Thu chose to create Jabberwocky words


Ena chose the Scientific project

Jonathan chose Jabberwocky words

Maddy wrote sentences for her Jabberwocky words. Sorry - don't know why it won't rotate!!
