1st Grade--End of Dr. Seuss Unit

First grade students finished off our month of Dr. Seuss by reading And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry St. and There's No Place Like Space on the iPads.

They completed 2 end of unit activities on the iPad, both used Sonic Pics. For one assignment a classmate took their picture holding up an iPad showing the cover of the favorite of all the Dr. Seuss books they read. They recorded themselves explaining why that book was their favorite from the choices and then they read their favorite page.

For the second assignment a classmate took their picture showing a page from the iPad with their favorite Dr. Seuss character. They recorded themselves explaining why they liked that character best and then they read their favorite page about that character.

I liked having students photograph each other, they definitely get a different perspective when they're behind the camera and have to decide how far away to stand to avoid cutting off someone's head!
