Haiku Deck



Hello Dear 7th Graders,

Today, we need to learn to navigate a new App in the iPads called Haiku Deck.

This is a cool presentation tool like Prezi or Power Point, but it has been designed for use on an iPad. Unlike the other options, Haiku deck does limit the amount of text you may use on a slide.  



So today you will need to do the following tasks for a 20 point assignment:

1. Open Haiku deck, and set up an account using your HTS Email account, and the same password you use for Prezi and such. 

2. Create 5 slides.  Each slide must have an image, a title, and a line of text.  This line of text must be a complete sentence.

3. Email the presentation to me at mbmorell@htsdc.org.

You may create a slideshow on one of the following ideas:
5 countries, cities or states... and perhaps why you would like to visit them. (or five places you have been)
5 birds, butterflies, mammals, or other critters...
5 castles, beaches, monuments, or mountains, landforms

I'm open to other options, but this is more about learning to use Haiku deck than obsessing about a theme :)  I suggest you keep it simple, and take advantage of the gorgeous images that Haiku deck offers.

Have fun,

Mrs. Morell

TedEd Film Festival

OK my friends.  When you finish Scantron testing, you must be quiet to let others finish, so prepare to be amazed by this series of videos - mostly from TedEd.  At the end of class, we will give you about ten minute to comment on which was your favorite and why, and which was your least favorite and why.  This will be your 20 point participation grade for the day.
