4-6d Creative Communicator

Students present creations that customize a message.
Customize: Use pictures and your words to say what you want to say.

Picture
​I can create a customized message.
​
4 I can teach how to create a customized message.
3 Without help, I can create a customized message.
2 With a little help, I can create a customized message.
1 I need a lot of help creating a customized message.

Picture
Check with your learning partners to see if they need help.
1. Help give meaning to the task in a way that makes sense to your learning partners 
2. Get ideas from others on creating a customized message.
 
You will be successful if....
  1. You seek understanding from others for creating a customized message in the best way possible.
      "Be a friend to yourself; do all you can to be wise. Try hard to understand, and you will be rewarded."

  2. You can describe the meaning of creating a customized message to someone who needs help from you.
      "Like clouds and wind that bring no rain, is a person who brags of gifts they never give."
      "Who is wise and understanding among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of         wisdom."
       
To earn Kid's Choice, 
  1. Rephrase the learning target in your own words to a learning partner.
  2. Explain to a learning partner why today's learning target is important.

What's your Autobiography?
An autobiography is your life story written by you. Here are some ideas that you can write about:
What are your week day mornings like Monday thru Friday?
What is your day like during school?
How about week nights after school?
What do you do on Saturdays? How about Sundays?
​Do you have any pets? Who are your friends? What are your plans for the future?

Picture
1. Write 1 good, strong paragraph for each slide. Imagine the voice of the teacher who taught you how to write a good           paragraph. What would she be telling you? 
2. After writing a strong paragraph, insert 1 picture for each slide (for now) to match your paragraph.
3. Read your paragraph out loud; you will find more errors to correct this way.
4. Check spelling; red line, right click, correct.
5. Capitalize first letter of each sentence, titles and anywhere else capitalization is needed.
6. Tab indent beginning of paragraph.
7. Look for other correct punctuation such as 1 space after a period of a sentence, before the next sentence.
8. Find a partner to double check your work. Partner points out errors you missed; YOU make the correction.
9. Add a 2nd picture to each slide and 2 to 4 on your cover.
10. Add more slides.
11. Are we ever really "done"? No, whether it is getting better at sports, your slide shows or anything else, life is about making your best effort, continuously learning, improving, and having fun while you do it.
