iTouch Apps and the City of Ember

We just finished our read-aloud The City of Ember.  It was just about the best book we have ever read. 
In class, we created videos with iTouches in which we acted out scenes from the book.
But today we took the Doodle Buddy app and created these pictures that represent the story of Lina and Doon.
This picture shows what Lina, Doon, and Poppy saw when they made it to the end of the tunnel. 

This pictures show how the City of Ember looks.  I chose the sky as gray because it is always dark.  The picture shows a city scene and the brown building where people can live.
This picture shows Doon, Lina, and Poppy looking at the fox in the city of light. 

This picture shows Lina and Doon looking in the new land.

Drawing pictures on Doodle Buddy helps us show our ideas in a digital way. 
We really loved The City of Ember and some of use are even reading Book 2:  The People of Sparks. 

We will never forget this exciting book! 
What did you like best about using Doodle Buddy?  What prediction do you have about The People of Sparks
