Note:  Each autobiographical timeline book began with students completing a four square worksheet before beginning the pages of the book. Each book consisted of a hand drawn and colored cover, an introductory page consisting of a current digital picture with text, a scanned baby picture with text, template completed in pencil and crayons plus illustration, template with Kid Pix picture and page with sentence completey written by student in Kid Pix or AppleWorks. Books were laminated and bound for presentation to the class. While doing this unit, I learned that every child works at a different pace. Therefore, it was helpful to have several pages for them to work on as they finished each page. The activity chart was a great help for keeping track of their work. When doing this unit again, I would definitely use this chart.

1.  Activity chart.  This form of assessment helped greatly in detailing the progress of the students.
     during the creation of their books.

2.  Andrea's, Jonathan's and Dion's book covers.  These covers, created by the students with
     crayons and markers, were then scanned to the computer.

3.  Dion's template.  This template effectively uses stamps from Kid Pix to create a picture coupled
     with AppleWorks text.

4.  Mona's template about age 6, riding her bike.  This is another example of a template used in her
     book.

5.  Pam working with students on project.  These two pictures show Pam helping students with their
     projects.

6.  Seth snowboarding.  This is an example of a Kid Pix drawing coupled with text done in
     AppleWorks.

7.  STaR chart results.  This shows how Garfield Elementary's technology compares with other
     schools in the area.

8.  Taelour's book.  This is an example of the finished project created by the younger students who
     made an autobiographical timeline book.

9. Taelour's four square worksheet.  This worksheet was completed to give the students ideas for
      completing their books.
