My screenshot was taken at a State Fair called Morrill. I was looking at different booths that were set up. The booths had information about different topics where you could click links to find more information.
Here are some ways to incorporate Second Life into ELA instruction.
- - Students could create an avatar and describe the reasons they chose it and how it personifies them.
- - Students could explore different landmarks in SL and describe what they see, paying attention to the different shapes and colors of their surroundings.
- - Students could create an island of their own by writing down everything on their island. They could draw their island and then describe the different features that the island has and how they can be used.
- - Students could share an oral presentation with their classmates on their experiences of using SL.
I see you took a unique avatar in the game like I did. I chose an airship haha.
ReplyDeleteI liked your thoughts on choosing activities. Making and then describing an island is really cool. You could motivate the students with the idea of the movie Avatar.
I agree! Your avatar is very unique. Great ideas for ELA teachers. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat avatar :). I like your ideas on how to implement SL into a classroom setting. I think that the students would genuinely enjoy creating a fantasy world for others to explore. Perhaps the challenge could be for them to simultaneously link their game script to non-fiction content…
