Talking Heads: Geology Vocabulary Quilt

Students used iMovie to create an AVID Vocabulary Quilt.  They selected 12 vocabulary words to feature in their "quilt".  For each of their selected words they wrote a brief definition and collected an image to represent the meaning.  Then they used the APP iMovie on their iPad to create the videos below.
