Oh the weather outside is frightful!
But, my wood stove fire is so delightful! And if you no place to go... Lets, catch up on some school work! (Sorry, that last line didn't rhyme!) This truly IS what teachers do on Snow Days! (Well... that and maybe a teensy weensy bit of favorite TV show catch up with a warm cup of tea). I realized during our Teacher Workshop yesterday that I forgot to post the much anticipated Adobe Spark digital story version our class made of The Gingerbread Man! Sorry about that! So let's rewind: In December, we conducted an extension study of different versions of The Gingerbread Man. (Scroll through the December 2016 posts for more information and pictures!) We integrated our knowledge of the Gingerbread Man story structure with what we knew about story elements (setting, characters, plot) to create our own version! Our class began writing by brainstorm different settings and characters that would match with each setting. Once we decided on our setting and primary characters, we began writing our version using the amazing Adobe Spark program. (Check it out - it is seriously amazing and multi-functional). Ms. Gennett helped to find images to represent our setting and characters and type up our words. And the kids really did the rest! They recorded their voices reading the class story, as well as chose the theme, layout, and music. Most excitingly, we presented our digital story to our Book Buddies during the Holiday Book Exchange celebration! Students were so proud and received MANY compliments from their Book Buddies and teachers. So, without further ado - here is our class' digital version of The Gingerbread Man! https://spark.adobe.com/video/hU8KueIf7eMr9
