Picture Stories




Lost Money





If you glanced at this picture you might think that these three men had won it. They probably wish they were winning it too, not losing it. This money in front of them is actually their money.





These men used to own a portable crib business. These are the kind of cribs that you can fold up. A couple months ago, a small boy awoke from his nap. He was in the Tubby Tots Crib in the nursery with the door half closed so he would not be awakened. Maybe the sides were weakened or something of the sort but he must have tried to climb out. Anyways the sides collapsed on him. About 5 minutes later, his mother came to check on him. She screamed at the sight of her limp son and feared the worst. Fortunately, he did not die but he was fatally injured with bruised organs and some brain damage. The parents of course were outraged, and wanted to look out for other small children. These three men that own Tubby Tots Crib Co. were eventually sued. This is most of the money they owe, but not all of it.








Not A Horseshoer


This picture would look totally normal if this was a horse instead of a elephant! It looks like he is putting a shoe on this elephant but elephants don't wear shoes so.......

This is Sasha. She is an African elephant that works in the circus and she's about 25 years old.One day when she was being led to her stall after day of practice.A big rock became lodged in her foot. This is a picture of his keeper removing it.

A Crack in the Earth

This is the result of many natural things. But most of all from an earthquake. There was also a lot of storms. The people that lived here said it was just kind of windy and all of a sudden the house jolted. As far as I know the government refused to pay for a new house for them so they are now in a homeless shelter. They eat oatmeal every day. And yeah I don't know what else to say because that's what happened.

Voice Thread Project

Summary:

I never got to finish mine, unfortunately. I took a video and everything but never got it on my voice thread.
My story was about a girl named McKenzie that has been home schooled all her life. She had just moved to Maine from Wisconsin. Tons of things go wrong on the first day. She finally wakes up, realizing it was a dream. Then the real first day of school comes, and it begins just like the nightmare!




Technology:

We used two cameras as technology. One was a digital camera to take pictures that relate to the story. The second type of technology we used was a camera that took videos. Some people used a microphone but I never got the chance to use it.
