Aliens

In the spring, Zman came to visit Earth. He lived in a house in Brooklyn.

The children who wrote to him from Virginia, wanted to see him.

So, Zman got on an airplane, which was much slower than his spaceship, to visit Virginia.

Zman stayed with Mrs. P and visited Southside Elementary every day.

Zman showed the students at Southside how to make pictures of someone as an alien.

Zman showed the students how to explore the software to see what it did.

Zman showed the students how to use the "special effects" in the software.

Zman also showed the students to use the Control-Z to go back when they didn't like an effect.

The students at Southside had fun when Zman visited.

After Zman flew back to his house is Broolyn, the students at Southside practiced what he taught them.

Mrs. P took digital pictures of all of the students.

Each of the students made their themselves into an alien.

The students experimented with the "special effects" on their pictures.

The students worked very hard to make alien pictures of themselve..

Some of ths students were very proud of their pictures.

Some of the students emailed their pictures to Zman.

A generic photo-editing software was installed on each of the computers at Southside for Zman's visit.

Your students can study these pictures, and experiment with similar software.

Students can turn themselves into aliens and send their pictures to Zman.
