Details:

This activity is contained in one Paint file, "PATHALL1". For use on a network, this file should be installed in a shared, read only directory on the server (WSD#1 uses S:\2Student). If you wish to download this file, click on this link pathall1.bmp.

After launching Paint and opening the file, children can then be directed to create teacher and/or student derived patterns. For example, to create an ABC pattern, direct children to do the following:

Capture the apple and the word apple with one of the scissor tools.
