Character Scrapbook
To show what they know about a character in a novel they are reading, students create a digital scrapbook for this person.
Come Visit
Students develop materials to promote a region or country they are studying and create a pitch to attract visitors to this location at a tourism trade show.
Personification Stories
Students personify an animal or object and develop a story about its experiences and adventures.
Mind Mapping
Students can use Wixie's mind mapping tools to brainstorm ideas and organize information. Combining text, visuals and connections in mind maps helps students show how ideas relate to one another.
Journey Journals
Students connect with the past as they write a first-person account of events in history.
Trading Cards
Students research a person from history, or a character in a book they are reading, and summarize their findings in the form of a trading card.
Point of View
Retelling a story with different point of view helps students better comprehend an author's use of voice.
Historical Newsletter
To help students better understand the perspectives of those in different times and cultures, have them develop newsletters that recall and retell historic events.
Professional Portfolios
Students create a portfolio for a significant person in history to showcase this person’s contributions to the community and our life today.
