Students are able to differentiate between a globe and world map. Students transfer and transform their final drafts into a PowerPoint presentation on the computer. Students present their PowerPoint project to their classmates. Students are excited about the art project. Afterwards, students are eager to produce a final draft of their directions writing so that they may proceed to the technology phase of the project.
Students study globe and map skills.
Also, students need to have experience working in cooperative groups, knowledge of the writing process and some background using computers to create a project. Most students had experience using Kidpix software from Technology Project I, the comparatives project . Students use the lab after school as part of a special program in conjunction with Media Workshop. They are instructed in how to use PowerPoint. Students are able to insert their own illustrations as well as photos taken during the project, which have been scanned in at Media Workshop.
