Here’s a Power Point book report that one of my kids completed! It sure makes me want to read the book!
My students have been reading so many books in The Reading Workshop that I decided that they needed to share some of their favorites with their fellow classmates. I asked them to tell a little about the book, giving just enough exciting information to make the others want to read it too. They had a lot of fun adding suspense to their reports, and as they presented them to their classmates everyone was afraid that someone would give away their ending! Of course no one did!
In addition to the book report above, here are a few pictures of the kids preparing their reports:
As I add these pictures of my students, I do want do mention the importance of digital ethics and our moral obligations as teachers to keep our children safe while they are using technology. One point is that not all parents agree to having their children’s pictures on the internet, so it is our obligation to check the internet agreements that all parents sign to see which of those will and will not allow for photos of their children to be posted. My second point is that we as teachers have an obligation to educate our students about internet safety and to monitor what they are doing on the digital devices that they are using.
Fine's Fantastic 4th Grade! 
This comment is for Emilee about her book report. First of all, your slide presentation is very appealing and easy to read. I like that you listed all of the things that the main character could do now that she has had a birthday. What do you think of her list? Do you think that all of the things she has listed should be allowed when you turn 12-years-old? Your teacher and her class have been discussing being safe with the internet and digital tools. A lot of the things on the list were related to technology. How would you help the main character stay safe with technology?
