As a group culminating activity, they wrote a four page book about the history of Japan. They will make a HyperStudio stack based on their books.
Literacy is a district as well as a school priority.
Students will practice writing skills. Student groups will compare and contrast their perspectives of Japanese history and culture. Students will use critical thinking skills to decide how to organize and create their stacks. Students will practice peer coaching and editing while entering their histories into HyperStudio. Students will practice working collaboratively while making difficult decisions about how to organize and create their HyperStudio stacks.
