Notes+and+Samples+for+Picture+Lessons

Notes on the creation of your Picture Lessons:

 * The main purpose of the Picture Lesson is for you to create a Power Point presentation to show others, that may not know how to do an Inquiry Lesson, the main steps and features of a specific lesson.
 * Your instructor will provide ideas, resources and samples.
 * Your instructor will supply you with a Power Point template for the Picture Lesson. You must use this template. **You should NOT change the color or the theme of this template**. Your main focus should be on the words which the describe the pictures, the sample data table, the sample chart, and internet resources that can be used to learn more about this Picture Lesson.
 * You may add other design elements to your presentation, but the "look" should be consistent and coherent.
 * The Picture Lesson will be **presented** at our finals class and be graded using a rubric.
 * Remember if you would like to annotate the pictures use Easy Capture to do this before you place the picture in the Power Point.
 * The pictures you take should have a resolution of 640X480 or 1600X1200 or anywhere in between. If you need help doing this just see Dr. Mehler.
 * Remember you can link from you PPoint Picture Lesson and you can add screen shots with Easy Capture.
 * **If you use children as your models that is fine, BUT no pictures of FACES at all**. If you use adults, faces are ok.
 * Please have your models wear PLAIN (no writing, no pattern) clothes. This really helps the look of the pictures.
 * **IMPORTANT** Name your PowerPoint file: "Your Last Name_Your First Name_Picture Lesson Name". Example "Mehler_George_Parachutes Picture Lesson"
 * See the samples below. These were turned in as PowerPoints and Dr. Mehler turned them into pdf's so they would open quicker (but it still takes a few seconds).
