"All about me" slideshow

  • This is a September, get-to-know-you assignment. After letting the students explore KidPix in the computer lab, I tell them that they are each going to create pages in KidPix that share about themselves. They will use these pages to make a slideshow to present to the class. I usually limit this task to 3 pages: what they look like, their family, and their interests. Each page has text and original drawings. When the pages are complete, I show them to place the pages in a slideshow and we share at the end of the week.

"I am thankful" slideshow

  • This is another KidPix slideshow. Again the students create a series of pages, only this time it is about what they are thankful for. In order to build on the previous KidPix assignment, I have the students add transitions, and record themselves reading the pages for the presentation.

Personal Timeline Presentation

  • This is a PowerPoint presentation where the students conduct some "research" about themselves and put it together into personal slide shows. The students were to use a variety of methods to illustrate their lives and write a brief narrative for each page. This is a PowerPoint document: if you don't have PowerPoint, you can download the viewer for free Windows Version, Mac Version
