An excellent way to blend STEM and reading is through Google
SketchUp. As we know well, one major
(and enjoyable) part of reading is visualization. In more complex stories, this can be quite
difficult, especially at the elementary and high school level. One challenging way for students to visually
represent their reading is through Google SketchUp --a free architectural
design program that is usable by young children to professionals. From Hogwarts castle, to the Hunger Games
arena, reading can truly come alive.
Students can go even further in depth by creating the setting for a
short story! The picture with this is an
example of a person's rendition of a castle.
Imagine Hogwarts!
