3rd Grade Explorers Movie Project

I already posted a Keynote activity for the explorers here, but that mostly reviewed the routes the explorers took from their sponsoring countries and the areas they explored. However, I had a teacher at Holladay who asked for something different. She had a small group of students who were motivated and wanted to do a special project about the explorers on their own. So they researched the explorers, filled out a form she gave them with the information, and then I worked with them to put it together into a project using Keynote and iMovie. I gave them a folder of pictures to use that you can download by clicking here. Each student made four slides about their explorer and recorded a voiceover narration. Then we added copyright free music using a great resource called FreePlay Music. The songs we used are listed at the end of the movie so you can download them if you want. To see their final video click here.
