I am so excited to finally share with you the video that is the culmination of the grade 3 project on weather. The students have worked so hard on this project since around December. In pairs, they researched the weather and climate in a Spanish-speaking country and used that knowledge to create a fake weather forecast for an assigned date. They drew the forecast and researched a picture of a place in their country, both of which show up behind them in their clip. Then they presented their forecast aloud to the whole class and on video. Over half of the students completely memorized their lines... meaning no cue cards! I am proud of their work and excited that I was able to learn how to use the green screen, transitions, backgrounds, and audio in imovie to make the finished product look great! I look forward to showing the students in class this week. Take a look at the video below (it is 10 minutes, so make sure you have some time!). With every third grader participating, we touched upon weather in all 21 of the Spanish-speaking countries. I hope to do the project with Ashaway next year as well. Enjoy!
