Using Technology to Teach Text Structures


Four Graders at GVE have been learning about text structures in their Reading class. Mrs. Grillo, a 4th grade teacher at GVE, chose to have students create  tutorials to help her students learn the key words, phrases and information about each structure.  Students chose to use Green Screen and iMovie to create these incredible, informational videos. Check out the amazing videos below. Students certainly got a lot out of this project.
