Look Who's Talking: An Image Editing Activity

Do the kids want to make holiday cards, multimedia art for the walls, or (why not?) political cartoons? This activity offers a good framework for introducing and working with image-editing programs. In it, kids work in pairs to take pictures of two people, import them into a photo-editing application like PhotoShop, and combine them to create an image of the two people talking to each other with comic book-style word balloons.
