A classroom bomb scare

A classroom bomb scare

This idea is similar in concept but is much more of an undertaking, however it can also be a lot more inspiring for students.

The following issues need to be considered.

Planning

• As in any story there needs to be a planning stage. In this example students are using their own photos to create the photo story so first need to storyboard their ideas.

• Once they (and you as the teacher) are happy with their ideas they need to take the photos. This may involve costumes and props and obviously also needs them to have access to a digital camera. If you have many small groups working then you may need multiple cameras or arrange it so that other groups are doing other work whilst one group is taking their photos.
• You then need to arrange the photos to be uploaded to the computers the students will be using to create their photo story. Make sure you create a different folder for each group.
• You also need to be sure that the students have the necessary technical skills to insert the photos into PowerPoint (Insert > Picture > From file...) and add text (the process for adding text is the same as in the video tutorial above).
