Using HyperStudio

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Using HyperStudio lesson plan also includes:
  • Project
  • Join to access all included materials

Second through eighth graders use the software "HyperStudio" to create a presentation of their choice on Native American lifestyles. One thing I like a lot about this lesson, is that the learners are the ones who get to choose and produce their presentation. They aren't "told" what to do it on. Terrific instructions, links to Native American websites, and good ideas for how to extend the lesson are all present.
