The Third through Fifth Graders are working on a Christian movie using Windows Movie Maker. The first task was to search for Christian images to be used in the movie. The kids used Google as their search engine. We learned quickly that typing in generic key words such as "Jesus" and "God" was not the best way to search for good pictures. We found many disrespectful pictures geared at mocking Christianity. I challanged the students to think of other key words for good search results. After giving the example "Triune God" and "The Good Shepherd," the kids started coming up with some great ideas. Some of the key words the kids thought of were Worthy is the Lamb, The Lord is my Savior, Father Son and Holy Spirit, Holy Trinity, God my Father, I shall not want, etc.
Once the students collect at least 20 images in their pictures folder, they will begin to work on their movie. This project will be their final project of this school year.
