Kindergarten - second grade students worked this week using their desktop publishing skills again.  This week they were used to create an identical picture.  The students had to determine the differences between two pictures.  They were then to use their skills to make the pictures look identical.  They had to move and resize graphics frames, as well as use the zoom function.

 

Below is a sample of the template used in this week's lesson as it appeared at the beginning of the lesson.

 

The next picture is of the activity after the students had completed the steps in this week's lesson.  Notice they also had to add text to the project.  They worked using their skills to change the text size and color as well.  They also had to delete items as needed.  The students worked very hard this week to complete their task.

 

  The skills needed to complete the steps in this week's lesson included:

 

 

 

If the classes had time remaining at the end of the lesson this week, we did a little matching skills activity on the Internet.  The web site we used can be accessed by clicking below.

Here is what the web site looks like once the students click on the "hot spot" to go to the web site:

Once they select the two they think are a match, they can click the "match" button.
If they are correct, the response they receive from the web site looks like this:

If they are incorrect, they will see two bears with frowns on their faces.
