Procedures:
1. Students will be placed into partners. Partners will be given a clipboard with the letter worksheet (see attached). Students will take a “letter walk” around the school with their partner. Students are to find two words that begin with each letter of the alphabet to record on their letter worksheet. These words can be found on environmental print, in books, word walls, etc.. As the partners find their words they are to record the word on their worksheet and take a picture of it using their flip cam. They will continue this process for each letter of the alphabet.
2. Using Windows Movie Maker, students will import their pictures into a presentation. Students will add background music/sound effects to create their letter video.
