Using Office Tools (Paint and Word) to promote collaboration and critical thinking. We will teach how to do the basic monster project, then supply you with suggestions for classroom use – especially in Science.
Do you have any other ideas? Please share them with us! Procedure: The Monster Project Directions Click on the link above to see how to develop the project. Today we will try to do Steps 1 and 2. Depending on the amount of time we have, we will draw the monster and describe it as well. Whatever files you make should be saved to a disk. We will be using these in the next workshop. Skills: Ø Create new files. Ø Open existing files. Ø Working with images: o Resizing o Using palettes o Saving vs. Save As… o Renaming Ø Toggling between two Windows (Word and Paint) Ø Inserting Images in Word Ø Working with Fonts, Colors, Formatting Ø Inserting Tables – using tables to create professional layouts (learn to configure borders, cell format, etc.)

Curriculum
Idea: Even though the original project proposes drawing a
Monster, we propose you have your students relate to today's
topic on Imaging the Earth. Have them draw a map and teach
others how to draw that map, and the other student has to
guess which country it is just from the written directions! Of
course this would be a very rough map, but it would help
students realize the difficulties of trying to capture the
three dimensional geographical features on paper. And how much
more difficult it was for early explorers to try to explain
their findings to the kings who had sponsored them! You can
tie a good Earth Science Lesson with the History Lesson!
