Students begin Social Studies Digital Project here...
Step 1: With your partner/group, determine the standard you will introduce.
Step 2: Determine the tool you will be using to create your digital project...Google Doc, Google Drawing, or Google Slides. Be sure to tell your teacher the topic and tech tool your group would like to use so she can prepare it for you.
Step 3: Using Galileo-Britannica School Elementary and/or Kiddle, research the topic to find facts as well as photos/graphics to include in the project. Ask your teacher for the current Galileo password.
Step 4: Once you have located facts, include the information in the digital project. To begin, select the correct group under your teacher's name below.

Step 5: Continue to research your topic. Locate graphics/photos. Insert them into the digital project. Simply click and drag. Important: Be sure to cite where you found the graphics/photos. Include the information as a comment of the image.
Step 6: Review the rubric to ensure your group is completing all the required components.
Step 7: Finalize the project details and notify the teacher when your group has finished the task.
Step 8: Complete a self-evaluation. Honestly consider the project from the view of the audience.
Step 9: To create a vocabulary rich compliment to your digital project, you will create a Wordle. Read and follow directions on the Wordle website carefully! With your partner determine the 10 (or more) most important words that describe your topic. Adjust the colors and fonts to ensure it will coordinate with the digital project you created. Your Wordle will be assessed using this rubric. (Note: Wordle does not work using a Chrome browser. You must use Safari or Firefox.)
The following Wordle examples were created for the St. Lawrence River. Your Wordle will not have this many words. However, notice that some words are larger than others. In order to make a word larger, you must list the word multiple times.
