State Fair Writing

The State Fair Writing activity is a companion activity to State Fair Adventure. In the State Fair Adventure activity, children have the opportunity to travel along multiple pathways exploring the various venues at the State Fair.

After exploring the State Fair Adventure activity, the State Fair Writing activity first provides children with reminders of what they saw and experienced at the Fair.

The child then chooses eight out twelve photographs of the fair from a toolbar to write about regarding their remembrances of the fair.

Each photograph when clicked upon is inserted onto an individual page, and a textbox is provided for the child to write in. Because of the academic level of this material, the text size is 24 point for this activity.

Vocabulary words (i.e. a clickable toolbar) appropriate to the writing assignment and an on-screen keyboard are also provided as additional writing aids for students who need extra support in their writing. There is also a custom IntelliKeys® overlay for the activity.

The State Fair Writing activity utilizes one of Learning Magic's new writing templates that we are designing in conjunction with Susan Norwell and others.

See further details about this project in What's New under "In the Works". We welcome your feedback on this prototype ond the other three Goodies based on this concept, On the Farm Writing, Fort Clatsop Writing, and Firefighters Writing.

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. Required Software: IntelliTools Classroom Suite® v. 3.2 .
