Implementation

We used Clicker Sentences IOS App for the student to write about the Butterfly Cycle.  She has difficulty writing sentences but is able to read well.  So, this was very successful for her.  We also used the avatar to tell about the cycle.

Rockingham School

Teachers at John C. Myers Elementary recently experienced basic green screen use during an art activity day. As students completed craft stations, teachers took advantage of the transition time to learn from RCPS ITRTs Erin BrannerPriscilla May-MaidenErin Sauder, and Katie Ameigh about the app "Green Screen by Do Ink." Teachers took student pictures then made the students appear to be in a space suit on the moon. Great fun for the students and great learning activity for the teachers!

The classroom resources gathered here are designed to help you use this Web site, other material on the Internet, and The West videos for a study of the United States' westward expansion in the Nineteenth Century. This multidisciplinary unit of lessons addresses a variety of subject areas, including history, language arts, fine arts, and science.

These materials are designed for middle and high school students (grades 6-12), although extension suggestions may help you modify them for younger students. Each lesson plan provides objectives, standards correlations, background information, Web links, procedures, extension suggestions, and assessment recommendations. Each incorporates relevant video segments from The West, though the lessons also function as stand-alone activities.
