My topic for my MGP is pets! My narrative is a story about a dog who finds her perfect family, and my persuasive piece is about trying to convince my students and their parents to adopt a pet. For my expository piece I was going to do a "how to play fetch with your dog". I had a couple of ideas like "how to give your dog a bath", "how to feed your pet", and "how to take your dog on a walk" but I thought that "how to play fetch with your dog" would be the best to do. It is simple enough for first graders, and I have to keep it to just a couple of steps so it shouldn't be that difficult.
What I plan on doing is making some sort of visual (I haven't quite decided which kind yet) and have pictures of me actually doing the steps with my dog. Of course, first I thought of doing a poster board but that is way too generic and I want something different and creative. I've thought about making a video that actually shows me going through the steps of playing fetch with my dog, but I'm not sure if I'm good enough with technology to accomplish that! I would love to hear from ya'll to see if you might have any other ideas as far as which format I could use : )

I personally think that both pictures and video would be great. Since you are doing first graders, you could use the pictures as "a starting point" (stand like this, hold the frisbee/ball like this, etc), and then show the follow through using the video. Does that make sense? I love your topic and you will do great!!
ReplyDeleteThese are some great idea's! Sounds like it will turn out awesome. The video sounds like a good idea, you can always look on utube thats where I am getting one of my extras from. :)
