Today students in Ms. Brown&#8217;s class created a Google slideshow to illustrate two different meanings of a word or a pair of homophones using context clues. First we utilized the Schoology discussion feature to brainstorm multiple-meaning words. You can see a short sample of the discussion by clicking on the photo accompanying this post. Notice the student names and photos are blurred out.  You can do that using a cool site called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facepixelizer.com\/\">FacePixelizer<\/a>. Next the students opened a blank Google slideshow (the quickest way is to give them a <a href=\"http:\/\/slides.google.com\">direct link<\/a> to their Google slides). I showed them how to search for an background image that isn&#8217;t too distracting by clicking the Background button > Image > Choose > Search.  Some good search terms to use are &#8220;texture&#8221; or &#8220;bokeh&#8221; (blurred lights). Then we changed the title to &#8220;Multiple Meaning Words&#8221; and added their name to the subtitle.  I also demonstrated how they could change the font, size, and color of the words. On the next slide we typed a sentence using both meanings of the word or homophone, and we underlined them. I explained how to add transitions and animations to the slide as well. Finally, I showed them how to add an image illustrating the sentence.  We shared our slideshows with each other on Schoology. You can see them all <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vR7HmXR9FMBEjZZGzaS8mcOu0214DB0cpvfEu8cZWo5pWaWS-uEh1EoI5vn8vj3TvonKiNYFHCs62t2\/pub\">here<\/a>.
