Students then start working on rough drafts putting one fact compared to earth per page. Students finish writing rough drafts. Emphasize who their audience is and the need to be clear. Students peer revise sheets. They must have at least two different groups check their sheets.
Students edit their sheets.
Students explore KidPix finding the different drawing tools and stamps they can use. They choose one character that they can use to tell the information to the first graders. Now that students know what pictures are available to them they put what pictures they are going to put with each fact. Each page will then have their character on it and what pictures they are going to create on KidPix. These act as lay-out sheets so the students don't waste their time playing around with different pictures.
