17. Easy PowerPoint Lessons

18. Higher Order Thinking in PowerPoint Projects
Elementary classes integrating critical thinking skills with multimedia presentations
Presented by Marilyn Mutchler and Mikie Kindsfather, Irving ISD

19. What is Critical Thinking?
“When students are asked to address a purpose and come up with a solution, they truly begin to identify, analyze, and solve problems through critical thinking.” (Schneider, 2002)
Higher-Order Thinking
Bloom’s Taxonomy
The New Blooms

20. How can Elementary Teachers Encourage Critical Thinking?
Provide problems that do not have obvious solutions
Frequent brainstorming
Compare and contrast every chance you get
Categorize everything
Student-centered instruction
Integrate problem solving in all curriculum areas
(Schneider, 2002)

21. PowerPoint Lessons that Integrate Critical Thinking
Measurement and Reasonableness
Exploring measurement in math and science.
Class discussion about ways to estimate inches, feet and yards.
Students estimated and measured a bus, a teacher and classroom objects. This lead to the idea of sharing the results.
Each pair of students chose an object to include in a PowerPoint presentation and then wrote a question encouraging others to select the correct unit for measuring the object.
Students inserted and formatted the pictures onto their slides. Each pair recorded the question and answer using the PowerPoint recording feature.
Two class periods in the computer lab and then students completed their work on the classroom computers.

22. PowerPoint Lessons that Integrate Critical Thinking
Self-Portrait Comparisons
Students created a self-portrait using a paint program on the computer.
The students then had to choose a famous person they wanted to compare themselves to (how they're alike and different) and record their comparisons with their portrait.
The recordings and self-portraits were then inserted into a PowerPoint presentation for a complete class photo album.

23. PowerPoint Lessons that Integrate Critical Thinking
Build a Bug
To assess a unit on insects, students created and named their own bug.
The requirements were to include all the major characteristics of insects.
Students had tell what the animal ate and explain the appropriate mouth adaptation for the chosen diet.
The students drew their insect in Paint and then inserted the image into a PowerPoint presentation.

24. More Ideas for Integrating Higher Order Thinking…
Analysis:
Compare/contrast the settings of two stories
Synthesis:
Modify a story by changing the setting (How would that affect the characters? The plot? The outcome of the story?)
Evaluation:
Rate the effectiveness of an author at achieving the purpose of a story. (Identify the purpose, evaluate the effectiveness, and provide evidence from the story for your opinion)

Interesting Facts

46. More Information on Habitat

47. Animal Adaptations Polar Bears, Wolverines, Birds, Walrus, & Seals
There is a low number of species that can survive here because of the harsh coldness
In order to survive, animals need insulating feathers or fur, short legs, and are usually a larger size. All of these adaptations help the animal stay warm.

48. Polar Jack Fox

49. Evidence
The Polar Jackfox is able to survive in the Arctic because of 3 important characteristics
This species has a bushy tail that keeps it warm
Its coat turns white in the winter to help camouflage it from predators because it matches the ice/snow.
It has Polar Bear feet, which means its back paws go into the tracks of the front paws, letting it conserve energy as it travels through deep snow.
