- The Frog Prince - Compare and Contrast
- This lesson can be used with numerous pieces of literature, videos or cassette material to develop viewing and listening skills and the students ability to compare and contrast. One of the richest sources is in the area of fairytales and folktales. This an especially good source if you can find a modernized version in video or cassette form to contrast with the more traditional written form. I have used the "Frog Prince" because of this factor and because it was part of the 4th grade language arts reading unit.

- Paint Tools & Geometric Figures
- This lesson is meant to teach or review for third grade students the use of "Paint" tools. These tools are generic to many multimedia tools such as "HyperStudio" and "Kid Pics." For the student who is unfamilar with "Paint," it provides another tool of expression and illustration.
This lesson is also designed to reinforce geometry math skills. This ability to illustrate a three dimensional object on a flat one dimensional surface is important to enable the student to visualize geometry math problems. - Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics)
