5th Grade Talking Pages on Oceans
For their Oceans Unit, 5th grade students at Chamberlayne Elementary created “talking Pages” where they have embedded videos right into their word processing documents. To make the videos, there are a couple of backgrounds in Photo Booth, or students can drag their own background picture over into it. Then students can introduce their paper, discuss vocabulary words, or do something creative like the student in this example did. After they make their video, students add pictures, graphs, and diagrams to the Pages template and write sentences about each, including important vocabulary words. These documents can be printed and you can even pick which frame of the video shows up in the printed copy by selecting it in the Inspector. You can download the Pages template and a folder of ocean pictures to use here.
