Mr. King & Mrs. Morrissey's bring students on a hike in town. Students find a spot along the hike where they would like to deposit their bag of leaves in the creek. Students return later to pick up their bag to then analyze and discover what is now in the bag. Click on the link to the right to view a tour from tour creator. Pictures were taken while on this journey last year.

(1) This can be a great pre-lesson for the student so that they are aware of what will happen.
(2) Students can now create their own tour and provide their own images from the journey to highlight what they found relating to what they have learned in class.

Book creator can be a great alternative to Google Slides. We have purchased some licenses for teachers so that students can work collaboratively. As you may have noticed, you can add audio recordings on a page as well as embed outside content like YouTube videos, google doc files, and links to websites.

This tool can be GREAT for comic strips!
