Goal

The goal of this project is to provide Grade 6 students at CMS the opportunity to develop their cooperative learning, problem solving, and presentation skills. Students will become more engaged as they showcase their knowledge on a variety of science topics by creating Paper Slides.  

What will be done with my students

Paper Slides are a creative way of presenting information using words and images placed on pieces of paper which are shown while reading a written script and recorded using a digital camera or mobile phone. Working in small groups, students will write a 2-3-minute script based on the content they need to present. Students will then create the Paper Slides. Each slide uses text and images to reinforce the main message of the paper slide presentation. The series of paper slides are then stacked together in order, and as the script is being read, students will flip through each slide while recording. The finished product can then be viewed by classmates. 

Benefits to my students

Students will learn to plan and design, work cooperatively, and develop problem solving skills. Since many different roles are needed for completion of this type of project, students will be able to develop different skills within their group each time: as a researcher, writer, artist, camera operator, and reader. This type of project does not have any student faces shown – hands and voice only, so shy students can have an opportunity to shine as well!
