Today, Mrs. Minicozzi came into our room and taught us all about Haiku Deck!
In class, we have been talking about topics and details, so this visual app was a fun way to practice these concepts. First, Mrs. Minicozzi gave each student a month of the year and a planning sheet. On the planning sheet, the students wrote their topic and then came up with 4-6 details about that month. Some of the details were national holidays or typical seasonal events. Sometimes students added birthdays. Once the plan was approved, students logged into the class' Haiku Deck account and started creating their slide show. Each detail became a word or phrase and the students looked for a Creative Commons photo to complement the detail.
Mrs. Yollis published the Haiku Decks on this class blog. The HTML code used was modified to fit. The height was "304" and the width was "480".
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteWe have used Haiku Deck in classroom a fair bit this year and there have been some great things about it. We have found that it is quite easy to put everything together quite quickly and we have been really pleased with the results.
I did have a question from looking at your Haiku Decks, and it was the December one that you produced, it has a slide that has the label 'Menorah' but I have to admit that I don't know what that is.

@Myles Webb,
DeleteA menorah is an important symbol of the Jewish religion.
It is used during the Jewish holiday called Hanukkah which is also called the Jewish Feast of Lights. The menorah is a special candelabrum that has eight branches for candles.
There are eight nights of Hanukkah. On each night we light a candle to celebrate the miracle that a long time ago a little bit of oil lasted eight days. And on each night we get presents!
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Yollis and Class,
ReplyDeleteI'm very impressed with your Haiku Deck creations! I have never used that app before, so you'll have to show it to me the next time I visit!
The Creative Commons photos you all selected complimented your details perfectly. I was also very happy to see that you worked with a partner. Have you ever heard the saying, "Two heads are better than one?" I think that it is often true! What do you think?
Keep up the good work, everyone!
Your friend,
Mrs. Ranney
