Story Time using a Document Camera, Visualiser, Digital Presenter



Content Area:

Reading

Grade Level:

Elementary School / Primary School

Materials:

  1. Document camera, visualiser or digital presenter
  2. Projector
  3. Book that has been selected to read as a class

Procedure:


Story time is a classic activity of elementary school. The teacher reads the text on a few pages, and then turns the book around to face the students so they can see the pictures.  One disadvantage is that we never seem to hold the pictures up for long, and students who are not sitting near the front often do not see the images very well. Story time can be transformed forever using a Document camera, visualiser or digital presenter, with projected images of pictures and text large enough for all students to see.

BEFORE

1. Choose the book that is to be read together as a class.

DURING

2. Project the image of each page of the book that is being read using the visualiser, digital presenter, document camera.

3. Call attention to target words and illustrations as desired.

AFTER

4. Quiz students verbally about elements of the story.

5. Have students draw additional illustrations for certain parts of the book.

ADAPTION IDEAS FOR THIS LESSON PLAN USING A DOCUMENT CAMERA OR VISUALISERS

A Document camera, visualiser or digital presenter provides an excellent way to "publish" original student stories. After students have written and illustrated their own story, allow students to share their stories with the class by projecting them with the help of a visualiser, digital presenter, document camera.

When you find supplementary printed materials on an instructional topic, but it is not feasible to purchase or reproduce the material, use a document camera, visualiser or digital presenter to project the image for the class to see.
