Take your other piece of ply, known as a cover board, lay it across the sides of the roof, and nail into place. Your animal needs to have specific structural features, that will assist in its survival in the environment you choose. Build the main frame of the roof by fixing the gable ends to the short sides, the same way you did with the Quilt and Hive boxes. I have used this with a class of 27 year 2/3 students last year and all were able to complete their avatar successfully, including the cutting, pasting andР’В re-sizing. Using the web 2.0 tool Build Your Wild Self you are to create your own animal specifically designed for one of the environments you have studied in the previous activity.

You will then need to teach your students how to do a screen grab (I recommend the Snipping Tool in Windows 7 or just use РІР‚ВPrint ScreenРІР‚в„ў) and then copy and paste it into your choice of editing software (Microsoft Publisher, Adobe Photoshop or ) to thenР’В re-sizeР’В the image for use as an avatar. Once finished click on РІР‚ВPrint your Wild SelfРІР‚в„ў. Then students can choose from a wide array of animal parts to create their own weird and wonderful creation. Now for the final step, drill a hole at the top of the bird box to attach it to the perfect spot youРІР‚в„ўve identified in your garden.

They can choose their human parts including gender, hair, eyes, mouth, and clothes. For the roof we recommend you use self-tapping screws or a hinge, so that you can remove it later to make it easier to clean the bird box out in the autumn. РІР‚ВBuild Your Wild SelfРІР‚в„ў has a very easy interface for students to create their own avatar. A very popular choice with students is РІР‚ВBuild Your Wild SelfРІР‚в„ў. Having a student avatar is an inclusive way to give everyone in your class an online presence without compromising a students need for privacy. Not all students will have permission to have their photos posted on classroom blogs.
