Using Databases…to Create More Database Resources!

5th Grade Teacher, 
Rodgers Forge Elementary
Through a reading lesson in the fifth grade curriculum, students at Rodgers Forge discovered that our wonderful BrainPop database does not include a video clip for the historical event of Black Sunday.  So, they were tasked with the job of creating one!  Students were first engaged in authentic research using other databases through the BCPS One platform in order to learn about Black Sunday and take notes on the event.  Then, they integrated this information, which was gathered from multiple sources, and drafted a script for their simulated BrainPop video.  Some students chose the format of a recording a paper slide show, while others chose to act out their skit live and film it.  This example of authentic learning was incredibly meaningful to students, as they took ownership of this project and were excited to share their new learning with others.
