While in London last January we had the opportunity to work with several teachers who wanted to see how we might be able to use the IntelliTools Classroom Suite® to provide supplemental materials for the teaching of the book Peter Pan.
The result was a combination of three simple activities. The first one was developed in IntelliPics Studio 3®, and includes a photograph of Peter Pan’s statue in Kensington Gardens, London on the first page. A second page relates how the story came about, who wrote it, and its marvelous history as a children’s favorite. The third page then provides two buttons to take you to two additional activities.
The second activity uses the Fairy Tales Template which was developed in IntelliTalk 3® to provide the basis for children to resequence the story after having read it or having it read to them. Additionally, word banks are provided in a second portion of this activity to allow children to write their reflections and ideas about the story in their own words.
The third activity is a short review written in IntelliTalk 3® with answer fields to test the children’s comprehension and memories of both the story’s history and the story itself.
Application needed: IntelliPics Studio 3® and IntelliTalk 3®, IntelliTools Classroom Suite ® or Player
Curriculum area: Language Arts.
Level: Grades K-2.
