**Media class #1:** Students will be introduced to alphabet books. We will read some different types and discuss them. Students will be given time to read some independently from a previously pulled shelf of books. **Media class #2:** Students will help me create a book. The topic will be food. We will start by composing a list of words for each letter of the alphabet. Then we will research one or two of the words to find out information. We will then create 2 pages as models.

**Media class #3:** Students will work in pairs to create their alphabet list using trade books and online encyclopedia websites. They will use these resources to write text for each page. Students will be assigned homework to continue working on pages. Teachers will also let students use some of their reading seatwork time to work on the project.

**Media class #4:** Students will meet in the computer lab. I will model how to create a PowerPoint slide using one of food examples from class #2. Students will work on completing their ABC books with their partner. Teachers will continue this project in their 30-45 minute weekly computer lab time.

**﻿Media class #5:** Students will continue work here and in computer class.

**Media class #6:** Students will watch how to turn their powerpoint slideshow into a screencast. Students will continue work here and in computer class.
