| Part 1: Creating a Lesson | ||||||
Creating a Reading Lesson |
||||||
| This section will guide you through creating a reading lesson. You can vary the content for the age/grade level you teach, selecting graphics and creating text that is appropriate for that lesson. | ||||||
| 1. Create a title page. Be sure to give the lesson a title to let the student know what the lesson is about. It is best to include a date along with the teacher's name or the name of the class. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| 2. Create another card or create several cards to add content on. Usually it is best to keep the same background for the entire stack, but this can vary depending on the need to show something specific. For example, you may use a certain color background, but need to display a "scene" that you create using the paint tools. This can be added to the lesson to demonstrate that section of the lesson. You can also add graphics to the scene you painted. These graphics can be resized larger or smaller than the original size. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| 3. Add your content. | ||||||
| 4. Add Multimedia Elements to enhance content. | ||||||
| To Hyperlink Text or a Graphic | ||||||
| Any graphic or text can "hotspot" any graphic or text on the card to go somewhere else. This can be another card in the same stack, another stack, or even the Internet. For example, this dog walking home as it gets dark can be hyperlinked to another card or stack where there is a story about him. Maybe his owner is narrating the story or maybe the dog is "thinking" about the day he had being lost. Make sure the graphic is large enough to click on and make the document open up. | ||||||
1. To make a document open up, you need to right-click (or double-click) on the graphic and click on ACTIONS. |
||||||
| 2. Under "Places to Go", click on ANOTHER PROGRAM. To open up a word document, you need to click Launch document. If you need to open a specific program, like Windows Media Player, you must find the .EXE file which is usually located in Program Files in the C/local drive where it was initially downloaded. | ||||||
 |
 |

| 3.Browse to the Program Files to find the .EXE file that will launch the program you want to use. Make sure that the file name is an application file and has an .exe ending on the type of file you are selecting. | ||||||
