Today students used their iPads to work on retelling! This is a skill on which students are frequently assessed (the DRA comes to mind!) but this activity also encouraged students to utilize what they know about story elements such as plot, setting, and character. Students were asked to read a leveled book throughout the week and then use the app iTalk to record their summary of the story. iTalk is an easy to use app which second graders can use independently with ease. After their recording, they were asked to meet with a peer who read the same story. Students listened to one another's recordings and offered feedback regarding appropriate sequencing, detail, and connections. The videos below show students at different steps of the process!
