Reading Response to Pig and Crow by Kay Chorao

I read the students Pig and Crow by Kay Chorao. We tied the book into our themes of friendship and growth mindset. I asked students in pairs to respond to the book using the My Story app. On 1/2 of the screen I asked them to draw and write a caption for a part of the story they thought was important. On the other 1/2 of the screen I asked then to draw and write a caption for their favorite part. Later as a class we viewed everyone's responses and I asked the pairs to elaborate on why they chose each scene. Prior to starting the iPad assignment we discussed how compromise might be important for this assignment and ways to compromise.
