AIM OF THE TASK

Create a presentation about the plant life of Montaña Palentina and a video to explain the photosynthesis.

PROCESS

STEP 1: You are going to work in your cooperative groups. Remember you have different roles, let's check it into the following presentation and divide it. Let's open a Google Drive document for your Working diary:

• Date.
• Roles.
• Aim of the day.
• What have you done?
• Learning.
• Problems.

STEP 2:  Start the presentation, every member of the group should have access to it (share with your teacher). It must have:

• Slide 1: Title and authors.
• Slide 2: 1st plant.
• Slide 3: 2nd plant.
• Slide 4: 3rd plant.
• Slide 5 4th plant.
• Slide 6: Video about photosynthesis.
• Slide 7: Creative commons.

Here is an example of it.

STEP 3: Divide the presentation work, each member of the groups has to talk about one plant in the presentation, so it should do one of the first fourth slides. The following websites will help you to look for the information.

• Cervera de Pisuerga: Flora de la Montaña Palentina. 
• El Oteadero de Javi: Flor de la Montaña Palentina (1ª parte)
• Orquídeas de la Montaña Palentina

If you need to look for more information on the net please let use the Scientific Name of the plant, not all the plants are called by the same name in all the places. 

STEP 4: Now it is time to tell everybody what your groups has learnt about the Photosynthesis and plant nutrition. And you are going to do it in a creative way with a video. Here you have some examples you can use (of course they are not about the topic but they are just to inspiring you on a good idea).

• Pollen (use papers and cartulines to draw things and explain things using sheets)
• Blood Circulation (using your own bodies or clothes, like a theatre play)
• Mr. Muscle  (You can dress yourself up)
• The reconquest of the Iberian Península (You can use models of plasticine, little toys, etc,... )
• Mejorarndo la educación, SGLab (You can use puppet to help you)

Let's prepare a Storyboard. It is a paper in which you are going to summarize all the scenes of the video. It is a draft, don't do it quick but also don't look for the perfection on pictures. Use the information which is explained at pages 42 and 43 from your Class Book.

Everybody has to take place on it so the COOPERATIVE LEARNING TECHNIQUE: Let's spin the sheet can help you.

You can use this graphic organizer as an example.

STEP 5:  Time to write the script. Remember that you need to know what to say or do at each moment in the video. You could use the following sentences in the video:

• Hello, we are ...........................................
• We are going to explain you ..............................
• For the Photosynthesis the plant needs..........................
• Explain the process: The plant takes........................ through the .......................
• From the roots the ................................. goes to the leaves through the ........................
• At the leaves is prepared the ....................... and it goes to the rest of the plant through................
• With the photosynthesis the plant produces............................

Let's check your teacher your script, divide what each person will say, and prepare all the materials, pictures, posters, characters or customs you will need to use. 

STEP 6: Record the video, remember you will need a camera, a tablet or a mobile phone (if you choose remember SIM cards are not allowed). It is important you know how to work with it and how you take out the videos. 

When you finish you have to upload your video to Youtube. It is not needed that all the member upload it, one is enough.

• Title: Photosynthesis (names of the students)
• Description: This is the video we have created for........
• Tags: colsangregorio, redxxi, Year 5, Natural Science, Plants.

STEP 7: Include your video into your Google SlideShow Presentation. 

STEP 8: This is going to be the personal part each one should create on their own portfolio. Each member of the group has to create a post with the following information.

• Title: Plants
• Introduction: I'm ........................... This is the final product of my group. Along this task we ..................... and I ........................................
• Embed the presentation.
• Learning Diary: (Please try to think on it and write more than a word)
• What have I learnt with this task?
• Did I have to go back on something?
• How did I learn along this task?
• What do I want to learn more about?
• Remember to write the task (colsangregorio, redxxi, Year 5, Natural Science, Plants.)

This example done by the teachers can help you. POST PLANTS
