Basic Productivity Tools (BPT)
The final product can be used to differentiates from learning by giving another view to the
continents. See where all the animals that students might have heard of or even seen opens their
eyes more to how different and diverse every continent can be. As a conclusion for the lesson the
students will present their digital books to the class, showing their classmates what they discovered
about the continents. If you want to display the digital books on the class blog that is a great idea so
that students can easily accesses that information or show off their book to their family, however it
is important to obtain written consent from their parent first before uploading. The students will
receive verbal feedback on how they did on their digital books and how they could improve the next
time if we were to make digital books again.
Reflective Practice:
As stated above this project is perfect for showing another view of looking at the difference of the
continents. The students can think about how far animals they might have seen are far away from
their original home. If you wanted to expand on this project your class can talk about why and how
the animals thrive on that continent. It ties in perfectly with learning about the different landforms
and how those animals survive better in that environment. For example, your students can learn
how polar bears bodies are made for a certain climate and equipped of the artic more then a black
bear. If you wanted to bring in another technology tool, you could expand this project to Excel
software and make a chart comparing the animals in each continent. Your students can investigate
how the landform, weather, and environment effect what kind of animals live in that area and notice
a pattern. There findings along with their eBook can be uploaded onto the classroom for people to
access for educational purposes.
