2. Students will practice using the digital camera, uploading, editing and adding texts noting the various fonts.Digital recorders will also be used.
3. A field trip to our local tidepool will be planned. Each student will be required to take photos showing symmetry and record their symmetry findings.
4. In the classroom the students will upload their pictures and edit them adding text and digital recordings to describe the symmetry they captured.
5. Using a digital projector and Power Point software these class pictures will be projected on a large screen. Cooperately, the class will sequence the order of their slides, add transitions, and do their final editing.
6. Students will listen to a variety of music and decide which one they will use for their presentation.
7. Music will then be added.
