As a class students will first access a website which shows them images of the different seasons. The website they will view is http://www.photon-echoes.com/seasons_images.htm. Next students will go onto a drawing/paint program such as a basic paint accessory or SMART Notebook if available. On these programs students will draw their own picture of each season.

P.3.1.2 create visual images by using such tools as paint and draw programs for
particular audiences and purposes
P.4.1.2 balance text and graphics for visual effect
Rationale for Computer Integration:
The rationale for integrating computers into this lesson is to allow students to see immediately what the different season changes look like. As well, the use of the paint program is a fun interactive way for the students to display their understanding of seasonal changes. Also, it allows students to become familiar with different applications and programs available on the computer.

My Power Point Adventure
Hello again,
I obviously like to leave assignments to the last minute because I am just handing in my power point now. The changes that I made to my power point were as follows:
1) I changed the background to a unified color that was more visually appealing.
2) I made larger, bold headings on each slide.
3) I added photos relating to the text on the slide.
4) I eliminated the information that was not key points so it could be explain during the presentation rather than put on the slide.
5) I made the text larger and a color that was more visible.
6) I eliminated the text animation because
Till next time...
Sincerely,
Courtney

My Introduction
Hello Everyone,
My name is Courtney Peterson and I am fourth year Drama Education student at the University of Lethbridge. I am 21 years old and was born and raise in Calgary Alberta. My parents are divorced and I have a younger brother and sister. I love theatre, movies, camping and traveling. I have had a passion for drama since I was a child and have taken part in many productions. I did not do a lot of traveling when I was younger but have recently developed the travel bug. The places I have visited have been Alaska, Florida, Mexico, New York, and Dominican Republic. The two places that I want to visit more than anywhere are Europe and Australia. I believe in having strong relations with your family and friends and value my loved ones very much. The decision to become a teacher has been fairly recent but I am very excited to begin embarking on what I believe will be an incredible journey. Thank you for taking the time to get to know a bit about me.
Sincerely,
Courtney
