2nd Grade Recalling Heard Information

My students are getting quite good at recalling or finding information they read themselves, but needed a little refresher on listening and remembering. I read aloud a short book about night creatures and asked each student to remember 2 facts they heard. I also asked them to give an opinion of the animal I read about that they like best and why. They had a choice of several apps for completing the assignment, including Tellagami, iDiary, My Story, 30 Hands, and Sonic Pics.
