=Water Cycle Prezi With a Blog "connection"=

2) TC brainstormed a list of questions that their prezi may answer. -What vocabulary is associated? -What causes each step? -What is the major energy source? -etc. 3) In their journals, TS created a "plan" for what they wanted to put into their prezi. Do they want to import pictures? Consider how you want your prezi to look. || Please identify opportunities for differentiation. || Some students remembered how to do it after one time and can now help the others. ||
 * **Title**: ||< Water Cycle Prezi with a Blog Connection ||
 * **Subject**: ||< Science ||
 * **Grade**: ||< 4 ||
 * **Time Frame**: ||< 30-45 minutes ||
 * **Summary:** ||< This is an introductory lesson to give me insight into the student's prior knowledge of the Water Cycle, so I can gear my instruction properly. ||
 * **Tasks**: ||< 1) Using only previous knowledge, TSW were to either illustrate or write what they already know about the water cycle.
 * Objectives: ||< - Water Cycle ||
 * Assessment: ||< How will you assess the students learning?
 * Resources: ||< * What resources will be needed? ||
 * **Teacher**
 * Reflections:** || The students loved this activity. They were able to use the ipads to import pictures. The students even went back and took pictures of projects they had to done and created prezi's for those and linked to their blogs. We have embraced using the blogs. I love how I can stick in websites and directions and they can log in and see what I want them to do.
 * **Examples**: ||< * Links to teacher or student work examples. ||

 * Reflections:** || This took longer than I thought, we had some hurdles with setting up accounts, etc. BUT, I had several students that figured out how to import pics into their presentations and text, etc without me having to show them. Then those students helped the others.
