Children will take the cameras point and shoot photographs of their various field trips.
Next they will download and/or scan the photos on a multifuntional printer. They will use Comic Life program to drop their chosen photos making 2 to 6 pages of Comics. Then they will write or dictate a dialogue about each photo detailing what happen on the field trip. Next the children will add details to their Comic book for example background color for page and the dialogue. Create a title page and page numbers. Then export the pages to the photo program and make it into a slideshow with music. Then present it to their classmates and parents at the end of the year. The children will also Print their Comic Book as a keepsake.

I hope to close the achievement gap, raise self-esteem and teach media technology to all my students.
