- also membership not required for RAP
- Step one: Start with your curriculum. Look at what you will be reading or studying during the end of Feb. or first of March. Use that as your inspiration. Remember. This connection is dependent upon your partners schedule as well as the wintery weather. The date and time that you are originally assigned might change, so think of a presentation that you can be flexible about when you present it. Here are some ideas from past years.
- Many first timer Read Around the Planet classes do some version of a Dr. Seuss celebration. This is a great way to start. Read the Foot Book, Cat in the Hat or Green Eggs and Ham. Older students might write IN THE STYLE of Dr. Seuss and share their original works.
- This 2nd grade class had a narrator read the majority of click clack moo and the rest of the class joined in on the chorus…CLICK CLACK MOOOOO
- Take an epic poem and act it out. This takes a verbal activity and involves the kinesthetic learners. And you have to think about the camera and how to shoot it.
- Take your historical research and have the students share as a wax museum or skits. Bottom line: start with a concept or topic that you are ALREADY going to be studying in your curriculum.
- Have one of your students introduce your class. This should be someone who is comfortable on camera. Sometimes it works well to have two students sit next to each other so that they have a buddy.
- Each class will have 10-15 minutes to share their interactions. Relax. It is not television. It is not Hollywood. It is your class talking and sharing with another class.
- Students should be actively engaged during this session. Skits are popular, but you really have to make sure that they speak loudly and don’t move paper while they are speaking.
- A wax museum has a nice visual element to it to increase the communication of the content. Many classes study the presidents and first ladies in February and this is a great topic to share with other classes.
- Believe it or not, there have been times when one class walks out of a videoconference. If you have to leave the conference early, be sure to let the other site know and say good-bye. It is rude to walk out of a room while someone is speaking, so don't do it in a videoconference.
- Most classes just say “Good-bye” to end their conference. Others have a cheer or a song to share. It should be short if you do it. (Short means about 10-20 seconds.) You choose what fits your style and personality and the amount of time you have to prepare.
