Modified Image for Week 2
I started with an old photo of our dog, Wilbur. He was named for the pig in Charlotte's Web, because he acted like a pig when he was a puppy. He would push all of the other puppies away from the food bowl, and hog it for himself. Here is the original photo:
I edited the photo using PicMonkey. The two PicMonkey editing tools I used for this image were "poster effect" and "comic bubble". I really like the fact that the background was blurred out, and Wilbur's image was enhanced, using the poster effect. It seems to make his eyes show more emotion. I can certainly see this tool being used for creating posters and captions to accompany book characters, in connection with classroom lessons. Wilbur is certainly poster worthy, don't you think?

Cute! I agree that it would be a great idea for characters from a book. I think you could also use those as fun ways to review for a test or review skills in about any subject area. I have a vision of the first Queen Elizabeth with a thought bubble about how she is viewed in history as well as some picture effects.
