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.
