Today, students in Mr. Williams&#8217; class created 3-D models of cells and wrote descriptive sentences of some of the parts using adjectives and adverbs. We used a great site called <a href=\"http:\/\/cospaces.io\">CoSpaces<\/a> to create the 3-D models. First, we logged in using our Google accounts, and I showed them how to pick a background from the Environment tab. Next, we clicked the Library and built a model of a plant or animal cell using the cubes, spheres, and other shapes from the Library. We right clicked on each shape to change its color and activate it for use in Blockly (the coding language). Finally, we used blocks of code to program the cell parts to identify themselves when clicked. The students typed sentences with adverbs and adjectives describing each part&#8217;s function.

(<em>UPDATE: I taught this lesson in a couple of other classes as well, so I&#8217;ve included some student samples from those lessons on the document.
