Crafting Their Writing

The common core writing standards require students to convey information and ideas clearly in explanatory and informative writing. Technology Literacy standards require students to use digital tools to communicate information. These 3rd graders were doing those things while having fun sharing their favorite craft with friends in other classes. 

These third graders picked a favorite craft project in order to teach their friends how to make it. Students used critical thinking skills as they broke down the process and analyzed the steps to communicate them. They used google docs to help  by typing the instructions for making the craft projects and selecting key parts to photograph.  Using the built in camera, they took pictures and inserted them into the document to provide visual cues and support for their audience.
