I gave it a go to wrap up a project I had been working on with my 4th graders. I noticed none of them knew how to refer to the different areas in our school, so we created a draft of a blueprint of the whole school and each group was assigned a different area. They went round the school taking pictures, measurements and small interviews to the people working there (eg, the librarian, the school secretary, etc) Once they had all the information they needed, they sat down and became architects. They created big posters with the four levels of our school and thus created a huge blueprint of the school, with pictures, signs and small descriptions. This was also a great opportunity to revise/present prepositions of place.
When I saw the enthusiasm they showed on what I thought was going to be a boring activity, I decided to document it with as many pictures as I could and then resorted to good ol' Powtoon for an awesome presentation.
Et voilà!
