Glue the computer sheet to the front of the construction tent. Drill and Practice You can use a word processing program to let students practice spelling words, write spelling sentences and practice math facts off flash cards or calculators. Let them experiment with different fonts, styles and sizes and colors of print when they do these basic tasks. What can be a tiresome task will become fun, especially if you allow students to work in pairs. With computers, they can do half the writing and still print a copy for each to take home and study.
Older students can print the words under the illustrations.
Again, allow students to make copies to take home after sharing with the class. Once they get the hang of inserting clip art, children can't get enough. Build on this interest by asking each to create a poster of favorite things. Let them choose their own fonts and colors and remind them that they do not need to have a graphic represent every word on their printed lists. Now your students are ready to try their hands at rebus stories.
