Powtoons for 4th Grade Narratives

This lesson plan outlines a 4th grade writing lesson where students will create a digital presentation using Powtoon to accompany their narrative essay. Students will first write a 5 paragraph narrative essay. They will then create a Powtoon presentation using their narrative and a provided graphic organizer. Students will present their essay and Powtoon to the class. Classmates will fill out rubrics evaluating how well each Powtoon matches the presented narrative. Finally, students will reflect by voting on the best Powtoons. The goals are for students to enhance their storytelling with digital media while developing writing and presentation skills.
