 * Major Concepts:**
 * After completing a unit of study, the children will create a series of slides to demonstrate what they learned.
 * Images are added (photos, google image search, drawings - any or all of the aforementioned)
 * They will do their writing piece to accompany their images
 * They will record their writing. Recording will be done with the help of a teacher or an assistant (or could even be a parent volunteer)
 * Skills:**
 * Use paint and draw tools to illustrate (one option)
 * Google image search (with teacher supervision - another option)
 * Insert photos teacher has taken
 * Writing incomplete sentences
 * Using correct punctuation
 * Using proper spelling
 * Food for Thought:** If you do more than one Keynote project in a given semester/year, the 2nd time the child might even be able to handle the recording with minimal help from the teacher.
