Low tech-books or slideshows can be made. Each group collaborates, constructs and publishes the introduction. Each group with the help of the teacher assembles a slide show presentation of the project. Students have typed in their paragraphs from their edited sloppy copies. Group members pick out colors, fonts, and transitions for presentation.
Teacher demonstrates the use of the programs as an introduction to further use by students.
Students participation in this phase is encouraged, but not done independently. Each group s presentation is presented to class for class revisions focusing on sentence structure, capitalization, spelling, grammar, etc. using the LCD projector. As a class group, the paragraph is again open to editing and revision. Classmates are encouraged to act as editors as authors are called upon to defend their knowledge or graciously accept ideas for improvement. Each group completes their KWL chart and presents their finished projects to the other groups using LCD multimedia projector.
