Have students place their collages in front of them. Then ask them to write a 5-6 sentence paragraph about their collage. Tell them to just type without worrying about mistakes. Tell them that they will edit when they have finished writing. When most of the students have typed in their sentences, show students how to edit them.
Students print their work.
Another student can help them edit their printed product, or they can exchange seats and edit the work on computer. The student's collage and paragraphs will be discussed and shared with classmates. The teacher will have a conversation about the assignment with each student. The students were eager to re-create visual impressions of their prior work experiences on paper. They also enjoyed working on the computer.
