Breaking News: Walker Creek's Wolf Weather Channel
Walker Creek Elementary students in Mrs. Kelsey Wolf's fourth grade class took center stage this week, producing a series of weather reports using BISD's mobile learning resource video production system. Mrs. Kelsey Wolf designed an instructional activity incorporating the 5E (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, & Evaluate) model.
Engage: Weather Video & Tracking Weather During Thanksgiving Break
Explore: Researching weather patterns at a particular location using a computer.
Explain: Collaborating and Formulating a weather news report via a script.
Elaborate: Producing, Filming, and Editing a Weather Report with Project Innovate iPads.
Evaluate: Peer Review of Videocasts and Self Reflection
Students were super excited to serve in a STEM role of either a meteorologist, director, videographer, or producer as part of the activity. Mrs. Wolfs students edited video content using the iOS applications Green Screen by Do Ink and iMovie.
Mrs. Wolf's video production roles and rubric can be located below.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great project! Thank you for including the 5E model you used and the rubric - this is a fantastic application for weather prediction and using the map and symbols for 4th grade. Way to go students!
