Acts of Kindness

In the Illustrating and Differentiating with Google Drawings post, I shared some examples of drawings from third graders. Since then, I've introduced Google Drawings to first grade students. I wanted something easy for them to draw the first time, since Google Drawings is different from many other drawing programs for children.

In Acts of Kindness, students created "shape dudes", which is simply a basic shape with arms, legs, eyes and a mouth, to illustrate their idea. First students typed a sentence stating an act of kindness they would do in their own life. Next, they drew a shape dudes that represented themselves. Finally, they created a second item, a prop or another shape dude, to illustrate the kind act.
