 * < //Element Song// ||< //Jared Mader// ||< //Students were asked to create a podcast that demonstrates a self-created song. The song was to accurately describe the properties of their assigned element. Podcasts were then to be posted on the class Wiki.// ||< //[|Audacity Tutorial.doc], http://maderwiki.wikispaces.com//// ||< 2 days ||  ||
 * < Cuckoo's Nest Projects ||< Rebecca Thiegs ||< Students were asked to create a movie that demonstrates their knowledge of the book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Students were given 5 choices (and an option to come up with their own) for projects and then they worked with a partner or group to collaborate on their movie productions. Students then presented their movies to the class. ||< iMovie
 * < American Dream ||< Jane Smyser ||< We discussed the American Dream, what it means, and how it is different, yet the same for everyone. Students created American Dream videos for themselves. They had to write a poem to incorporate into the movie that showed their "voice" and feeling. They presented them to the class, we had an awards presentation, and they will then compare their dreams to those in The Great Gatsby. I highly recommend Scrapblog. They kids liked this website the best and it allowed them to work on it at home as opposed to using a lot of class time! ||< iMovie
 * < Independent Novel IWeb ||< Jane Smyser ||< My Comprehensive students read independent novels. To help show their comprehension, analysis, and synthesis of the novel, they are creating Iwebs for their books. They have a very specific rubric to help show how they will be graded on the 6 pages that are included in the Iweb: Welcome, Plot, Main Character, Supporting Characters, Theme, and Review pages. They have to incorporate pictures, quotes from the novel, creativity, and analyze the novel, without really realizing it. ||< IWeb
