Neds_Wild_Adventures_Project

=**Ned's Wild Adventures Project**=

As a way to get our students into the writing process, we are introducing Ned, the orangutan. Just like many other writing projects, the students are given prompts to get them started. The first step of this project is for the students to use one of the writing prompts and create a picture with it. After the picture has been created in a simple program like paint, or a more progressive program like KidPix or kerpoof, the students can then write about their picture. Depending on the grade level, the teacher may want to decide on the writing application. For older students in grades 2-5, it may be good to have the kids use word to write it. For the younger grades, it might be more fun to have them tell the story by recording it into an mp3 file. Any way you do it, the end results will be a lot of fun and will really showcase the individual personalities of the students. I highly recommend you drawing your own picture first and writing your own adventure to share with your kids. It will really give them a basis for your style as well.
