 * The first story came about when I sent the children out into the school to look for fractions in their every day world. We decided to make it easy and consistent by using ½. They created Half man and found many examples. The second story was a lesson about alliteration which was part of our poetry unit. I thought it would be fun to use them in my examples. I hope this type of lesson will stay in their memory better than just a definition and a couple of examples. **
 * __ REFLECTION __**


 * This project was fun once I got the hang of it but there were very frustrating parts to it. The big problem was I wanted to have one of the students to be the narrator but I couldn’t find out how to get the speaking part to work. After many many trials, I finally got it to work but I was at home. The children really enjoyed their parts in it. I plan to have more children make their own now that I feel comfortable with the program. **
