Winter Things

"Winter Things" is an activity built in one of the seven writing templates found on our "The Writing Bin CD". In this activity I used clipart to depict different items that you might find or see during the winter.

The student has the option of clicking on any one of the clipart images found on a picture toolbar and the object is automatically inserted onto the page. The student then has the opportunity to write about the image or scene in their own words. In this template and resulting activity a pair of attached toolbars provide 16 words of vocabulary support that the students can use in their writing endeavors.

Like all of "The Writing Bin" activities and templates, students can also click on a "Read Page" button to listen to what they have written and make necessary edits and changes as they deem appropriate.

This activity was built in Classroom Suite v. 3.2. The activity can be run on the ITAN Player. But IntelliPics Studio 3® is needed to perform data capture, automatic grading and portfolio management, as well as any editing or changes to the activity itself.
