1. Students will use paint/gimp or clip art to design either a self portrait or a caricature of themselves.
2. Students will use clip art to copy and paste activities, likes and dislikes that would help to identify their self portrait.
3. Students would use excel to make a spread sheet that reflects how often they engage in each activity.
4. Students will continue with clip art to custom design their final project.
5. Final projects will be displayed around the room for identification
Comments
My students always need challenging and creative projects. I think clip art in combination with paint, gimp or excel would be a great project for my students.
