Jezisek's Yellow Jackets are Authors, Photographers, and Producers!

Mrs. Jezisek's third grade class recently read the book The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns.  They wrote their own versions in small groups and discussed what pictures would enhance their text. Each group then went out and took pictures of their three-dimensional shape. Each group of students then worked together to create a Photostory version of their story.  These students have learned how to create a storyboard to lay out their ideas in a cohesive fashion, use props to create visually interesting pictures to enhance their words, use Photostory to create a moving story, and record their voices in the story.  They have created a memorable experience that also helps them learn geometry!  In this way, the students have learned that technology enhances their learning of all subjects. Way to go Yellow Jackets!

All writing was done by third graders. While they went through and corrected their work, there are occasional "creative spellings."  Please enjoy these authentic works of art.
