Today, my students will be watching the video "Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things" from You Tube (Shout out: you can watch any you tube video you want if, at home, you use keepvid.com to download it to your computer or flashdrive. Then you can take it with you wherever you want.) After watching this video, my adorable little softies, whom I enjoy so much, are going to create either a wordle or acapela.tv message about one of the people on this video. I will strongly invite them to post their work on this site, so anyone interested can see what they learned about one of the people named from the "Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things".
If you are interested, please check out the posts!! If you want to use this idea in your own classroom (If any teachers indeed check this blog out), I have all the links right here necessary for this lesson.
