Finish your Prezi!

Today, you will have a chance to finish the Prezis you started last week about your thoughts on helping this year's 4th graders transition to 5th grade.

I would like you each to include:

  • At least 7 of your ideas or suggestions from the worksheets you completed in language arts class last week (the sub will have the worksheets in my binder).
  • At least two pictures.
  • Please be sure that the spelling and punctuation is perfect!


Have fun with this, and help each other if you get stuck.

You will need to set up an account with your HTS Email account and password - it will be a free account for students.

You will be creating a Prezi for your biography project, so I thought it would be fun if you created a quick biography about yourself to practice.  Here is my sample:
