The author of the aforementioned blog showed how using the following websites can help student create a silly or wild self. I like relating the project to a book, such as The Snowy Day or Where the Wild Things Are. As mentioned in the blog, I concur that after lots of giggling, students made a snowman. I had them use F11 key, copy (print screen) and paste into paint to cut parts they didn’t want away. I like pasting my projects in PowerPoint because it creates a nice frame that is around the paper when it is printed. Also, saving in PowerPoint gives the option to save as a .jpg for future use. Students can write about their creations using descriptive adjectives.
Students can also create their wild self using Microsoft Paint, as shown in the picture.
