Another day teaching Room 8 gave me a chance to use the Drawing Pad app again. They did such a great job with their book covers about Edwin the Otter (see previous post) that I knew they would be very capable to do something else.
I began by showing the children the front cover of the book, from here they wrote in their books what they thought the book was going to be about.
We began to read the story and I stopped on the page where there was a fox. They were then left to discuss what they thought would happen next.
They all wrote a sentence and then using drawing pad illustrated their own page for the book.
It was definitely a challenge for everyone, especially trying to draw a fox! I was very impressed with the ability of the children and the final outcomes were very good.
We are still working on fine tuning the final products to make sure the overall display has the best layout but this is all learning and the more they do the better they results they will get.
Check out the awesome work below:
Using Drawing pad: Students drew their pictures, added backgrounds and clip art. Added text to write a sentence for the page to match their illustration. This was done in one block (1 1/2 hours)
