where small groups of students take turns "passing

Our
Family Photo Album

 Looking
for a way to put some excitement into your
unit on the family? Here’s a cooperative
activity where children can be creative,
reinvest vocabulary they have learned in
class, and put their…and your …computer
skills to the test.
This activity is as basic or as complicated as you and your
students decide to make it. Prior knowledge of how to use
a presentation application (Power Point, AppleWorks, Keynote)
is an advantage, but if you have never used one, you may
find this activity a good place to start.
First view the Tutorial (Slides 1-6). The Student Presentation
(Slides 7 and 8) is set up for your students to get started.
Basically, each page in the photo album is devoted to a family.
Students create a family, select roles, dress up, photograph
their family, and then describe it on their album page. You
need a digital camera or scanner, a presentation application,
and lots of imagination!
