Duration: Five 45-minute sessions Description: Students use Kid Pix to illustrate Goldilocks and the Three Bears (a culminating activity for a unit on fairy tales and Kid Pix).

Goals: Children will create a class big book of their own version of Goldilocks . Children will use Kid Pix to illustrate each page of the book.

Objectives:

Children will use brainstorming, editing, and revision to write their versions of the story.

Children will use Kid Pix to create pictures to illustrate each page of the story.

Children will use the tools of the Kid Pix program- stamps, lines, squares, color, fill, etc. Concepts of big, medium, and small will also be covered. They will use the shift and option keys to enlarge the stamp pictures for their illustrations.

Materials:

many versions of Goldilocks
Kid Pix
laminating machine
book binder
chart paper

Procedure: Children are gathered as a whole class and plan their version of Goldilocks . The teacher writes their ideas on chart paper. These ideas are then written into story format, revised and edited as a whole class. The story is broken into pages, and each child (or pair) is given a page to illustrate. They are encouraged to use as many of the tools in Kid Pix as they can to create their pages (including the shift and shift/option keys to make the different sized objects needed for the tale). Assessment: The big book is then shared with each child’s family. Each family is encouraged to write back to the class commenting on the super job they did.
