Vocabulary using Tellagami
Students will be assigned a vocabulary word. They will choose a partner and
together they will create a short Gami Video. Their job is to define the vocabulary
word and put their vocabulary word in a sentence. They will customize a character
and choose their background; they will then record their vocabulary definition and
sentence for their character to say. Students will then save their “Gami” and e-mail
it to the teacher, so that the teacher can then project it, so that all students can see
each other’s final product.
