Grades 2 through 3
School: Westwood Elementary School, Friendswood, TX
Planned By: Natalie Hoskins
Original Author: Natalie Hoskins, Friendswood
1. Students will brainstorm verbs (action words) that they can do with their eyes, hands, ears, mouth, and feet. They will list 3-5 verbs to go with each part of the body. Students should come up with a minimum of 15 verbs.

2. After students have completed their planning sheet listing verbs, they will go into the computer lab to work on the presentation of their work.

3. Students will take a picture of themselves using Photo Booth (students could also use a digital camera) on the computer. Students should take a picture of themselves standing up and at least one hand should be seen in the picture.

4. After students have saved their picture, they need to insert it into a Word document.

5. Then, students will insert a text box and list all the verbs that go with mouth. They will move the textbox to an area beside their mouth.

6. Students will insert four more text boxes and position them near the rest of the body parts.

7. Students should check their final product for correct spelling presentation.
