Title: Halloween Cards and Slide Show Objective(s):  o  Students will create a Halloween card to give to someone Materials o  Black, orange, and white construction paper (white should be cut in 1/2) o  Glue o  Scissors o  Markers MONDAY Procedure Unfold the folds you just made and open up the card. ||  || Close the card so that the flaps are inside the card when it is closed. ||  || Cut the ghosts out. || Close the card. || TUESDAY Procedure
 * 1)  gather students on the carpet and show them an example of the card they are going to make
 * 2)  explain that they are going to make a Halloween card to give to someone
 * 3) first, write some Halloween messages on the board such as “Happy Halloween”, “Have a Spooky Day!”, “Boo!” etc.
 * 4) next model each step carefully for the students
 * Fold a piece of black construction paper in half, into a card shape. ||
 * || Make four short, parallel cuts along the fold line. They should be in two pairs. ||
 * || Fold over the flaps that were formed by the cuts.
 * || Push up the flaps made by the cuts.
 * || Draw two ghosts on a piece of white paper. Make sure that they will fit side-by-side inside the card when it is folded.
 * || Glue each ghost onto a flap.
 * || Fold an orange piece of construction paper in half, into a card shape. ||
 * || Glue the orange piece of construction paper onto the outside of the ghost card. Make sure you don't glue the place where the ghosts are. ||   ||
 * || Write a Halloween message on your scary card. ||
 * 1) after you have modeled how to create the card, review each step with the class by calling on students to tell you what step is next (for example, call on a student to tell you what you do with the black paper first. Then call on another student to tell you where/how to cut etc.)
 * 2) have students spread out around the room so they have plenty of space
 * 3) pass out 1 black, one orange, and 1/2 white piece of construction paper to each student
 * 4) pass out scissors and a pencil to each student
 * 5) have students share the glue sticks with each other, one glue for every 2-3 kids
 * 6) when students are finished have them take home their cards to give to a friend or family member
 * 1) today students are going to make a Halloween picture slide show using power point
 * 2) model how to use power point and create the slide show
 * 3) open PowerPoint
 * 4) in the title box, write “Halloween”
 * 5) in the subtitle box, write your name (students need to write their own name)
 * 6) Model how to click new slide in the upper right hand side of the page
 * 7) show students how to minimize the PowerPoint screen
 * 8) go to Google and click on Images
 * 9) in the search box, enter “Halloween”
 * 10) model how to right click on the image and copy it
 * 11) go back to the PowerPoint screen
 * 12) right click and select paste
 * 13) make sure the picture is in the text box (the bottom one)
 * 14) in the title box (the top one), model how to write a caption for the picture
 * 15) for example, if I paste a picture of a pumpkin on the page, you may label it “jack-o-lantern.” If you paste a picture of a full moon at night, you may label it “spooky night.”
 * 16) Show the students how to create another new slide
 * 17) Model the process one more time, copying and pasting a picture then adding a caption
 * 18) Model how to hit F5 to make the slide show. Make sure all the students know where the F5 button is
 * 19) Write the word “Halloween” on the board so students can refer to it for their PowerPoint title
 * 20) students need to create at least three different Halloween picture slides
 * 21) have students move to a computer
 * 22) ask them to open PowerPoint and Google images (do not have them search yet)
 * 23) when all students have both programs open, they may start their project
 * 24) monitor/assist students as they work
 * 25) when students are finished, they may share their PowerPoint with a friend
