Encouraged students to add words or letters to the picture. Allow each child the opportunity to share his picture and his story with the group. This will reinforce the facts the children have learned about Columbus and his journeys. Use a digital camera to take pictures of the children acting out the adventures of Columbus and his men. Take one picture for each child.
Teacher puts the pictures into the computer and adds a sentence from the poem.
All of the pictures are them combined into a slideshow using Power Point of Kid Pix. Teacher record each child telling a part of the story. The children will want to see this over and over. They will learn to recognize some of the words and remember facts about the adventures of Christopher Columbus. If you use a digital camera, add the words on the computer.
