A Beepy Sweepy is a two syllable answer to a rhyming riddle. A Beepety Sweepety is a three syllable answer to a rhyming riddle.  TTW then allow the students use EBSCO to search for pictures, videos, and articles that relate to the solar system.  After exploring the solar system in EBSCO, TSW then use their explanation of how to create a Beep Sweep and begin to create one.  TSW create their picture and riddle in Kid Pix, save it as a jpeg and then place it into a Power Point slide. They will insert a symbol or box to cover the answer. TSW also make that box move, using Custom Animation, to reveal the answer when ready.  Another variation to this is to save your Riddle and picture, then Open the Slide Show in Kid Pix and bring your picture into it.
