In small groups, students discuss ways the stories were alike and different. In the whole group, students open a Venn diagram template in AppleWorks . They label the two circles and enter the likenesses and differences on the diagram. The whole group shares results. With a partner, students open the transcribed Native American story in AppleWorks .
Students edit the transcribed story for grammar and decorate it with clip art.
The teacher asks which version students prefer and why. For students with hearing impairments, the teacher can use a sound system with microphone for amplification. The project is based on the Georgia Framework for INtegrating TECHnology in the Student-Centered Classroom. This project is supported by funding from the National Technology Literacy Challenge Grant.
