In order to create this image, I began by searching on line for free clip art of Italy. When I found a picture of this fountain, I thought it would create a clear background for my assignment. Keeping with the Italian theme, I searched for pictures of Renaissance era costumes on pics4learning.com and found the burgundy dress I am wearing in the picture. I was able to use the smart scissors function to cut and paste a picture of myself into the dress, as well as place the gold crown on my head for the royal treatment. While designing this assignment, I took into consideration many of the social studies standards from the National Educational Technology Standards, including Content Standard 3: Historical Themes. By combining an architectural object and a costume, students will be able to gain insight into the values and culture of Renaissance Italy.

This looks like a fun way to connect your standard with the use of digitally-manipulated photos. Looks like your editing job was done well, though unfortunately your face looks a bit fuzzy. Do you see your students putting their own faces in Italian scenes with Renaissance dress?
