Students should tell a 3 - 5 minute story. It may be fictional, true, or somewhere-in-between; personally created or a published story. No props are to be used. Students may tell stories by themselves or work with a partner. Stories in another language are also allowed. If you have questions you may contact DTL Angie Woodring at WoodringA@ogdensd.org or Leslie Law at LawL@ogdensd.org.
November Secondary Projects
New Gale Cengage Learning Resources on Pioneer
- Biography in Context
- Opposing Viewpoints in Context
- Global Issues in Context
- Science in Context
- Student Resources in Context (and the Junior/Middle School version)
- Gale Virtual Reference Library (specialized encyclopedias and research books)
- InfoTrac Junior, Student, and Newstand editions (Periodicals)
- Kids Infobits
Many of these resources can be highlighted online, translated in other languages, have ready to go citations, and can have student notes added. These resources have been used to research current issues to provide background on a bill simulation, researching biographies of world religious leaders, and finding elementary level background information on animals. You're invited to check out which resource options may work for you at Pioneer Library.
Chromebooks have arrived!
