As an alternative to presenting information through the standard Power Point liner slide format, you can now get creative using Prezi.com to present your information in a whole new way. Although difficult to get the hang of initially, once mastered Prezi offers countless formats to get information to various audiences. The example I am posting is from a persuasive argument where I took common misconceptions about the sport of NASCAR and addressed them with a video clip that disproves the stated misconception.
Here is a link to my Prezi Presentation.
I received an error message when I tried to click on the link to your Prezi.
ReplyDeleteI fixed the link, it was copied incorrectly the first time. Should be all fixed now.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know what to expect when I saw Nascar, but I totally understood as soon as the second slide hit. This would be a good way to present Author's Purpose to your students. Is the authors purpose to persuade, inform, or entertain? This is a standard that my class has practiced since the first day of school because it can get very confusing. In my class I also make my students go back and cite with evidence from the text, or in your case prezi powerpoint, and quote evidence to support his or her answer. They have to explain why their evidence supports the authors purpose they chose. This is a good warm-up activity and can also be good for an exit ticket at the end of the class period. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteThis was really great! I really liked how it looks so different from any other presentation I have seen. This is definitely education centered and would be great for use in the classroom, like Kacy said, for warm up or exit card. Thanks!
