David Weisner's Tuesday
Students should work individually at their computers to create a folder. Their drawings should be scanned and placed in it. If possible, the teacher should have already scanned their drawings from their storyboard and placed them on the desktop. The students should place these into their newly created folders.
Ask students questions such as:
- How is working on a computer to draw and paint different from working directly on paper?
- Why do you need to save and organize your images in a folder?
- What are the advantages of using a computer to create our images?
- Why should you save any changes in a separate file?
Students can bring photographs from home to scan and add to their collages.
