Here is a brief synopsis of what has occurred:
Students were asked if Atticus Fitch (To Kill a Mockingbird) is a Hero
Students then use Google Moderator (via their own devices) to suggest qualities of a hero, and vote on their peers' suggestions:
Students were then asked to watch 6 different speeches and repeated the process of using Google Moderator to suggest what should go in to a good speech.
Emotional Control/Connecting the Audience/Body Language
(start at 10:00 minutes)
Audience/Staying True to Objective
Inspiration/Connecting with Audience
Students were then asked to submit their choices for who they would like to research using a Google Form.
Students are now in the process of conducting research on who they think is a hero. They are to be sure to provide evidence that their person meets the criteria of a hero as selected by the class.
Finally, students will peer evaluate both the speeches and the heroes their peers chose, using the rubrics generated by the Google Moderator Activities, copied over into a Google Form.
All done....using mobile devices!
