All About Seuss! Digital Story

All About Seuss! from Abbey Menard on Vimeo.

Here is my digital story I was FINALLY able to upload.  I created this video and showed it to my students to honor and celebrate Dr. Seuss for Read Across America Day.

Literacy Project

Here is the link to my literacy project.  I used an iPad app called StoryKit to launch our new unit on opinion/persuasive writing.  We worked on the project as a class.  Each student chose a kind of shoe they believed to be the best; sneakers, boots or flip flops.  Each student then drew a picture of their opinion and gave a reason to match.  The students wrote their own "scripts" which they recorded to go along with their picture.  Each student had their own page.  While we did go over some specific vocabulary, much of this activity was also used as a pre-assessment.  This is app is not only awesome because its free, but I was also able to email our work to parents.  The students and I really enjoyed this, and I found it very user friendly.  I will definitely be finding more opportunities to use this app again!
