Mr. Watanabe's 4th Grade Class

Colorado Characters Glog Project

In fourth grade, one of the most important units of study is the History of Colorado. Every year, students research and study one famous Coloradoan and complete three projects about their Colorado Character. This year students are going to be replacing a tradition written report with a glog.

__What is a glog?__ A glog is an interactive poster that students create using graphic design skills. Students were each given an account at [], Glogster allows students the ability to use text, photos, videos, links, wallpapers, and graphics to create an informational virtual poster. The posters created by our class are all from the imagination of the students with some basic criteria that each student must meet.

__What to look for__ Students are going to be assessed on the completion of seven expectations. Student's glog must:


 * contain a title and student name (first name only)
 * contain a photo or photos of character
 * contain a paragraph introducing the character
 * contain a parapgraph about the character's background/family life
 * contain a paragraph explaining the character's achievments
 * contain information about the end of the character's life
 * be well orgainzed and easy to read
 * All of the glogs also have a podcast embedded into their glog. Click on the play button to hear the report!
