Students in the the 1st and 2nd grade Enrichment class read non-fiction books on animals. They identified important and interesting facts about their animals and created Voice Threads on their animals. Below is Samuel’s example. To see more examples go to the Non-Fiction Picture Books section of the Read and Respond Project.
Students in Enrichment classes from grades 1 – 5 have begun a new project. Each class is responding to a picture or chapter book of their choice and responding to the book using technology. The 3rd through 5th grade Enrichment classes are creating webpages based on their favorite chapter books. One of the combined 1st and 2nd grade classes has created a retelling of a picture book using Microsoft Movie Maker. Upcoming classes will be creating podcasts, online posters, blog posts, and more based on books of their choice. Check out what the classes have contributed so far and make sure to look for more books to be added in the future.
