Instructional Ideas

  • While the lesson may be used with any text; as an introduction to the process, a short story would work best
  • Presumes pupils are familiar with Keynote; if not, conduct a mini-lesson on its use

Classroom Considerations

  • Class members need access to iPads with Keynote or other devices that can create slide shows

Pros

  • Includes a rubric for the project
  • A link to Keynote is provided that includes a sample of how to complete the assignment

Cons

  • None
