This fantastic PhotoStory would be great to share with students prior to beginning an informational study… and is a great visual for teachers too.


If you don’t have PhotoStory installed on your computer, you can get it for free at by clicking here.  Go to this website and follow the directions for downloading.  It should take less than 3 minutes.
