Creating Native American Myths and Legends is a five-part lesson plan asking students to research a traditional or modern Native American myth or legend story and then turn that story, or create an original story into a Pixton graphic cartoon representation. The lesson provides an overview of the basic elements of myths and legends so that students are aware of the structure and key components of each as it relates to Native American storytelling. While traditional methods of Native American storytelling rely heavily on oral storytelling, modern graphic novel collections of stories such as Trickster: Native American Tales are providing a new way of recording traditional stories and providing an outlet for new creations for modern Native American artists and storytellers. The project follows an adapted inquiry model and uses the graphic cartoon generator software website Pixton.com, as well as GSuite for Education.

My 7th and 8th grade students have been preparing for a book competition that will take place towards the end of the school year, similar to Battle of the Books. They have been divided into groups of 6 and are required to read 2 of the 6 preselected books. While reading the books they take notes using Google Classroom. Each student is assigned a color when note taking. I wanted a fun way for them to study for the competition. Each member will be creating a Kahoot game about one of their books they had to read and share with their group.

The ancient and original skills of playing music by ear are as important as ever in the 21st Century. Play-by-Ear differs from other methods with a focus away from the individual onto facilitating others to participate. Play-by-Ear provides a common denominator to quickly engage with inclusive participation and minimal resources. Community group leaders, substitute teachers and therapists are often called upon to lead music on short notice. Participants can mix and range from total beginners at all ages to some accomplished in traditional methods. Such groups may have no scope for follow-up so require some instant gratification with whatever is available on the spot. The core Play-by-Ear method achieved an Australian Innovation Patent in 2016 and has since been extended to fulfill school and community curriculum levels. Techniques are demonstrated to cover the full AASL 21st Century skill domains, ranging from a single finger chord on a ukulele up through use of digital tools to produce a music video for a worldwide audience.
