The children made their own speech bubbles. They typed in Claris Works using a font size of 72. They printed their documents. Then they made a speech bubble shape around their words with a black marker. They cut them out and added them to our mural with their animal.
Students write clear and choherent sentences and paragraphs that develop a central idea.
The students' writing and computer skills were assessed on the fourth and final day of this project. Independently, the students wrote about what is hard about being a child. They also demonstrated their computer competency by illustrating in KidPix and saving their work to disk.
