Check out our Digital Booktalks!
A great deal of lessons and work went into these projects. Students went from a graphic organizer that asked them for main characters, problem, and solution of their book, to a storyboard where they had to script their book talk with both the audio (what they would say) and the visual (what images they would show for each bit of audio). They then moved to using the app, Explain Everything, to present their work. They learned how to use the app and we emphasized presentation skills- like the importance of editing (in some cases re-recording sound or reshooting photos to sharpen them). Students needed to problem solve throughout, particularly when their book didn’t have illustrations, or when they forgot their book but needed to keep working. They grabbed images from the web that pertained to their content. We are proud of their efforts. They spoke with a great deal of expression in their presentations. Thank you to Dr. D and Mr. G. for collaborating with us on this project. Students would be so excited if people posted positive comments on their work on vimeo. Please feel free.

Reading A to Z
Raz Kids is our online leveled reading program. Log on to listen to or read books at your current independent reading level. There are comprehension quizzes provided after each book. Taking the quizzes provides great practice for test-type comprehension, a skill that is needed throughout school. You can also download the Raz Kids app on an ipad if you have one at home. The interface is slightly more user-friendly. Students will be using Raz Kids in class and they can progress further by working at home as well.
