Teacher has students write a fictional story or a book report.

 

 

You will need a computer(s) loaded with Kid Pix, a source of clip art or photographs, and a microphone. Arrange to have a media cart in the room for the final presentations.

 

 

Create a story board of at least six scenes, including text and pictures.

 

Conference with a peer and then teacher to edit and refine their story.

 

Complete a final draft on paper.

 

Launch Kid Pix and draw, paint or gather from Kid Pix library or other clip art sources to create scenes to illustrate their story.

 

Add their edited text to each frame.

 

Import and arrange their scenes into a Kid Pix slide show.

 

Transfer presentation (saved as self-executing file) to media cart computer and present their slide shows to the class.

 

 

Using the microphone add audio to the student's presentations, ie., music and/or voice.
