Prezi Sample
This is a sample Prezi for an assignment I am thinking about for the first week in my new Sophomore English class next year. Students will create a getting-to-know-you Prezi about themselves with minimal text and mostly images (like my sample). They will present to the class, talking about each image as they click through. The Prezi theme must in some way connect to a way in which they see themselves, their life, etc (you will see mine is a journey). They will turn in a brief written piece explaining this more symbolic connection--so I will have a baseline speech and writing sample from one assignment!

I like your idea for the Prezi as a get to know you activity. I am thinking of using one of the Web 2.0 tools for that but I haven't decided yet! I also learned that you went to NU, I assume, from your post. Go Cats!
ReplyDeleteI like that you found a way to "double dip" getting a writing and speaking baseline. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI'm stealing your idea about using Prezi for a get to know you kind of thing. This is a great intro to Prezi for the students in case you plan on using it during the year. My husband gives his students a project where he gives them a topic and then says create a 2-5 min multimedia presentation on your topic. He gets lots of Prezis (along with some podcasts and videos that kids create). It's super open ended but his students seem to like the opportunity to be creative in anyway they choose.
ReplyDeleteYour husband has the right idea. We've got to loosen the reigns on the students. They are wired to be creative (most of them, anyway).
