Spring Things

This activity was created in conjunction with a third grade inclusion classroom using one of the templates from the Learning Magic, "The Writing Bin" CD.

The teacher had previously had a discussion with her students in regards to 'signs of spring", where the children provided their insights from "riding their bikes again, to tulips/daffodils, trees blossoming, mowing the lawn etc.

The teacher then took clip art images of their ideas and dropped them into the template, thereby creating a writing activity for her students.

The students simply click on one of the pictures within the "Open Pictures" toolbar and it is inserted on the page and then they have the opportunity to write about it.

When they are finished writing about the various signs of spring, they have their own book about "Spring Things" which can be saved in the student's files or printed out as an example of their work.

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.
