1. Artwork a) Each child created a Self-Portrait using construction paper glued onto a 8" x 12" sheet of construction paper. b) Each child also created another picture using watercolors or markers. Ideas for this page include - a Favorite Place, Picture of your Family, Favorite thing to do, My house, Foods I like, etc

2. Pictures Each chid was asked to bring in two special items to be photographed or email two pictures of special items. Pictures included pictures of pets, sports equipment, instruments, toys, books, backpack, stuffed animals, ect

3. Script Students used the blank scripts to write a script for each picture. See attached.

4. Scripts are edited, rewritten. Students practice reading script aloud. 5. Filming - We used iMovie. The computer lab teacher used this project as a way to teach the students how to use iMovie. The pictures were put in a folder that the children could access. They created an iMovie project with the 4 pictures. Order was up to them, except the self portrait needed to be first. In iMovie they recorded themselves reading their script for each picture.

You could also use Windows Movie Maker, Photo Story or even Voicethread. You could also do this as paper slide video with the two pieces of artwork and the actual objects or photos for the other two. Actual photos can be replaced with artwork as well.
