3. Introduction This project will be used as a portion of a kindergarten unit on farms. Students will have learned some information about what farms are for and why they are important to our society. One element that will be added to this unit is an audio narration for each slide. Because not all young students are able to read- this will accommodate their level of ability. Unfortunately, my system does not allow for audio so this will have to be added using the school computers. Students will have the opportunity to view this slideshow on our classroom computer or in a computer lab. Once3 students have completed the slide, everyone will come together to discuss what they have learned. As a whole class, we complete a KWL chart, the Know portion before students use the slideshow.
