End Product
A PowerPoint presentation of a fairy tale that was created by the entire
class!
How It Gets Started
The teacher will first define a fairy tale and explain all of the components
that make one up. Then, as a class, students will fill out a worksheet that
asks questions concerning the characters of their fairy tale. Who is good/evil;
are their animals that talk; are their kings and queens; what is the major
conflict; how is it resolved?
How It Comes Together
After the class has decided on the components of their own particular fairy
tale, the teacher will lead a discussion to write the fairy tale. Once
the story is completed, the teacher will divide the story up into “pages,” no
more than three sentences each, so that each child is assigned a portion
of the story. Once a child is assigned his or her portion of the story,
he or she will use crayons or markers to illustrate what is happening
in
their particular passage.
How It Gets Finished
The teacher or technology specialist will scan in all of the pictures and
then import each image into a separate slide of a PowerPoint presentation.
After
the image has been cropped and resized to fill each slide, the text of the
story that corresponds with each picture will be added on top of each image.
Finally,
the teacher or technology specialist will use a microphone and the record
feature in PowerPoint to record each child’s voice reading the particular
passage
that they were assigned.
