If you are working on your Tableau project for 8th grade technology, you may realize it involves a variety of skills to complete. Not only do you have to collaborate with your team members to create a series of living pictures, you must also invent a story line to string the story of living pictures together. Remember you need at least 8-10 images to create your story. Then as a group you must create a narration that describes what is happening in the story. Below are some examples of things you can consider as you create your "living pictures story".
For this project you will need to use:
Word (for the story/narrative)
Power Point (collecting your 8-10 artistic images)
Movie Maker (string your images together for a movie short)

Finally, here are some things to remember as you are practicing and collaborating with others on your tableaux. You will have to:
