Student Service Project Final

On our third week and last we gathered our information we had both found and finished answering the questions we had wanted to know and we then proceeded to start our voice thread. We found some pictures that pertained to the topic of the Ute tribe that answered our questions. We then started our voice thread and Zulema decided to input the information by adding text into all the pictures describing what they were and how they pertained to the Ute tribe. Overall I had a great experience with Zulema , although at first when I knew I would be working with a fifth grader I was kind of scared especially since my degree is EC-4 generalist but I had to admit working with an age group older than what I am used to is actually pretty awesome. And I have learned that it takes cooperation between student and teacher in order for the student to achieve in any project or lesson learned. I am learned a lot for this lesson and I appreciate being part of it.

Student Service Project week 2

One the second week of my service project we had a bit of a set back due to the fact that my laptop had to be in a shop for a virus scare and my student was not able to have the information because she did not have her laptop. But that did not let us down we still discussed the information she we getting parallel to the paragraph she was completing in her classroom for the project. We then proceeded to make the next appointment and agreed to find more information on the topic to discuss it and add the information in the voice thread.

Student Service Project

On my first week of the student service project I meet up with my student who was zulema dath, we discussed her topic which was Native Americans on a focus of Ute tribe. We then started a blog for zulema called zulema's hiding spot and we also opened up an account on Google docs for her. We then proceeded to make a web outline and posted it on the web and we began a KWL chart that is also posed on her blog. We also discussed our future projects such as a voice thread and we watched a video that explained the process and the many uses of a voice thread. We then proceeded to make the our next appointment and I gave the student some questions to think about so that we could maybe answer them in the voice thread.
