A new project

I know, I know....I'm behind.  Here's one project we recently completed.  It was difficult to accomplish the way I wanted as I was continually pulled out of my classroom for various reasons.  In spite of the difficulties, the students did a great job.  The students studied the water cycle.  Their task was to tell the story of the water cycle and use a drop of water as a character in the story.  They used Paint to illustrate the story and PowerPoint was used to tell the story.  I was amazed at how well they did with the illustrations.  A basic illustration was created and saved.  That file was then saved as a part of the water cycle...for simplicity let's call it evaporation.  The student then illustrated evaporation on the on basic illustration.  That was saved (as evaporation).  Then the evaporation file was saved as condensation.  The condensation file was illustrated with condensation.  The condensation file was saved and then saved as precipitation.  Precipitation was added to the illustration.  The file was saved and then saved as collection.  The collection file had an arrow added to point to the area of the illustration showing collection.  The file was saved.  The illustrations were pulled into Power Point and the students used the basic illustration for a title page.  Each of the other illustrations were pulled in as the student told the story.  Some students created their character using paint and then added the character to their slides to help illustrate the story.
