We talked about blogs and how easy and creative they can be. Next let's talk about some ideas that are more visual.

• A different way to get the students to summarize the story of Alice in Wonderland they could use the website photopeach.com allows you to surf the web for pictures and upload them into a mini presentation format. You can also chose to use your own pictures however for this project it would be best if the students found picture stills from Alice in Wonderland or that help illustrate a scene from Alice in Wonderland and upload them to this website. They arrange the pictures in the order they would like to present them in and then add music. This is a fun way to do a presentation and to have the students use pictures to summarize main points in the book.

• There is a website called prezi.com which is a presentation website. can be used by the older students individually or collectively as a class for the younger students. I made a model template of how to get the students thinking about the book. There is a what I know section, what I want to know, and what I learned. Prezi.com let's you save the presentation so you can go section by section with the students and type in the answers as the kids give them. At the end it's a fun way to go through each part of the reading process. The kids can also get creative by voting on the background and the colors for the prezi. Older students will have no problem picking up this web tool and will enjoy presenting to the class while using prezi.com. Click here to see my model prezi.

There are so many fun and creative ways to have the students present their summaries and ideas about Alice in Wonderland. Be sure to explore new and creative ways to integrate all the students into the learning process.
