Dear Colleagues! Dear friends! You and I work at school, in the garden at a time when few people are interested in paper illustration. Modern children enjoy playing computer games, have tablets. Judging by their students, they are very fond of interactive presentations, they enjoy working on an interactive whiteboard. And I can no longer imagine a modern lesson without these technical means. I create a lot of presentations myself, not because the ones already created are bad, no. I just love doing everything myself. And my kids put together puzzles with great pleasure, whether it's a lesson in mathematics, the Russian language, literary reading. It all depends on the illustration, on the tasks and the animation that you add. I bring to your attention a master class that will help you turn any illustration into a puzzle. Believe me, this will diversify your lesson, introduce an element of entertainment, clarity and problematicness into it, because the child will need to put together a puzzle in order to get an answer to the question posed, to consolidate existing knowledge. And sometimes just relax. And so, today we will try to create a presentation - a puzzle based on a postcard from our favorite site "Entertainment Pantry"
