5th Grade Countries-Pictures/Poster

The 5th grade students are starting to learn how to save pictures from the Internet onto their computer to be able to use when creating their Microsoft Word Country Poster and their Microsoft PowerPoint Country Presentation.  The students are saving pictures from web sites provided by Mr. Morton, in relationship to monitoring copyright infringement.  They are saving these by holding down the control/ctrl button on the keyboard and then pressing the mouse and clicking "Save Image As" to save the picture to their desktop.  We talked about how the control/ctrl key is identical to a right click with a 2-button mouse, which both can be effective and practiced at home.

When the students start their poster they are going to simply create a 1 page poster in Microsoft Word full of pictures and text to better entice someone to travel to their country based off of the pictures and information they provide.  Another way to use Microsoft Word as a graphical tool more than a typing/word-processing skill.
