First grade ELL students reading When You Grow Up
My Project from Ann Thibodeau on Vimeo.
Finally, (thanks to Stephanie for teaching me how to export this!) this is my first attempt at incorporating the Sock Puppets app. This is not the best one but apparently I didn't save my favorite one. Students were reading a Reader's Theater script from Reading A to Z. They loved this activity and have been asking for new scripts every week!
One of the limitations of the app is the 90 second recording time. However, it is possible to record the entire play in parts. The app has the option to share to the camera roll. From there, you can upload all the parts into iMovie to edit and then share out to Vimeo. From Vimeo, the video is easily embedded to blogs and Wikis. Voila!!
This is another script from Reading A to Z. The students are second grade ELL students with a much longer script. I'm not sure if I would go much higher because it gets rather lengthy.

I created a few Sock Puppets over the summer. Now I need to work with the app more and consider transferring into the iMovie as you outlined. If I worked with young children, I think they would enjoy seeing their puppet shows converted to videos. Thank you for sharing. Does Stephanie have any of her own students' Sock Puppets are her class website?
ReplyDeleteThe sock puppets are adorable and I love the way they are in the foreground. Your students must have been thrilled with this literacy venture.
