    Hi Kate

    Thank you for your instructions!

    I was just wondering what your class uses for your background? What is your screen made from? Is it painted onto a wall, or is it fabric and can you move it around?

    And secondly, do you have better results with either a green or a blue background?

    Thanks!

    We used a sheet for our background and attached it to our Activboard. I don't know if it makes any difference what colour the background is, though.
    Also, if you have blue or green eyes, you'll look like a ghost. (Depends on which colour background you have.)

    Thanks Kate! It sounds like using a sheet would be a good idea because you could always move it to a better spot if you needed to.

    It sounds like it would pay to have a trial-run with the different coloured backgrounds so you get the effect you are after.

    Thanks for replying to me!
