During the week prior to Thanksgiving break, students will create a Thanksgiving poem as a single slide power point, which we will then save as a jpeg image file and post on a special website.
- Brainstorm things you are thankful for.
- Discuss ideas in your cooperative learning group.
- Write a short poem or a non-rhyming prose of what you arethankful for.
- Chose
a Power Point template slide and rewrite the poem on that Power Point
slide. You can add photos, images pr even animations.
- When finished, save the file as a JPG picture file (File>Save As >jpeg) Chose this slide only. Be sure to save in the following format: Class_name_Thanks.jpeg, such as A_BartS_Thanks
- Upload the single slide poem to a classroom computer OR email to the teacher and ADD a message/subject with a short headline such as "Bart S's Turkey Poem"
- The
Teacher can upload all of the completed slides to a photo site such as
Flickr (limited frre accounts are available) from which a class
slideshow can be made and shared with students and families and even
the entire world. See Poems

Power Point Slide Templates If working in class, go to the Thanksgiving file folder and choose the template you want and create your poem. Be sure to save it in a different folder with a unique name. If doing this on a computer on which there is no Thanksgiving folder, right click on the link of the Power Point template you want and choose "Save Target As" on the file you wish to save it and give it a uniques name as a Power Point Presentation.
Clip Art Animations To download, right click and "Save Image As" to your file. If you have digital photos of your family, you can add those images into the slide as well.
