PicLits.com is a great site for those who love playing around with words. You can chose a picture and then a group of nouns, adjectives, adverbs, verbs and universal words appear that you can add to your chosen picture. There are not a lot of words to choose from, but that is what makes the project fun. When you chose a word you can click and drag it anywhere on the picture. I chose all the words that felt important to the meaning I was trying to convey and just put them on the picture. I then played around with the word order til a little bit of prose appeared that said what I wished it to say.
The using of pic lit allowed me to tell my “Bedtime at the Bears” from a different perspective, with one slide and one sentence. I attempted to boil the meaning of the story to me down into one slide. I am an atheist and talking to my daughter about god was a difficult conversation. She is so young. I don’t wish to actually tell her there is no god; on her path she might find one or two! I hope that she explores faith and the purpose of religion on her path, but I don’t want my personal beliefs to influence her one way or the other. We each have a unique spiritual path, and hers is still out there to be discovered.
