For our third assignment, we are using Keynote (some students can't access it and are using Google Slides), although in a different way than most students have used it. We are using the shapes to create some of our own pictures, using images as backgrounds, and making the whole thing automatic. The goal is to really push the creativity by utilizing the advanced Keynote skills.
The assignment is called the Awesome Story (we work on this for two days) and has the students retell a story (book, movie, TV show, fairy tale, etc.) using the advanced Keynote features. They can also make up a story up or tell me about something that happened in their life. I love this assignment because I get to talk and relate to the students about different shows and movies we like (I watch quite a bit of TV!). Or I get a glimpse into things they are passionate about. Plus, anytime students moan and complain because class is over, that is a good day for the teacher!
