Use multimedia tools and desktop publishing to develop and present computer-generated projects for directed and independent learning activities. Students discuss the story and the literary device alliteration found on many pages. Each student writes and illustrates a sentence that names a letter of the alphabet and a Louisiana word that begins with the letter. Students use a storyboard to plan a slide for their letter sentence.
Students use peer editors to check for grammar, parts of speech, and mechanics.
Students use Kid Pix Studio and their storyboards to create a slide. This activity may be done in groups during learning centers, or individually during class time. The teacher compiles all slides into a class slide show. The whole class views the completed slide show. The project is based on the Georgia Framework for INtegrating TECHnology in the Student-Centered Classroom.
