As I develop the documents for this project over the next few weeks, I will be sure to post them here. I will also post an example of a Prezi, but I will not make one that details the body systems. I have found in the past that showing my students a project example in the same vein as what I want from them allows them to copy it exactly and leave all creativity out of the equation. Developing a Prezi for a different topic will allow them to see how it works, but will leave the task up to them.

Prezi for showing connections between body systems!
At the end of the second quarter, students in 7th grade will have covered 7 body systems. By the end of February, they will have covered three more. For a middle schooler, this is a lot of content in a short amount of time! This year I will be trying something new when we're done our body systems unit--a Prezi. Students will be completing a Prezi to show the information that they've learned over the previous 12 weeks. This will allow them to connect the body systems together to show how each one works with a variety of the others.

Now that is a great use for Prezi! The kids will probably love connecting all of that information. Prezi doesn't always seem to make sense with every topic, but it completely does with this. I want to find some more uses for it in my classroom. So far, not much luck with the kids, but I think it would make a lot more sense depending on the topic. Great idea, Sherri!
ReplyDeleteIn just a few days I'll have an example and direction sheet up. Anyone is free to use my direction sheet with their classes--though maybe I'll need to add some copyright info on that baby!
