Why Do We Love Picture Books?

This is a screen capture of a graphic organizer we made in class using the Idea Sketch app.

We have been reading picture books in class because we are trying to predict the Caldecott winners for 2012. This caused us to have a great discussion about why we enjoy picture books so much. Each students created a graphic organizer using the Idea Sketch app on our iPod Touches. It was fun to show our thinking this way. Here are some samples of our ideas!










Mrs. Alaniz collected our work on on iPod Touch using the Bump app. In a few seconds, everyone's sketches now appeared on one device!  We love these apps! Thank you, Mr. Vincent, (from Learning in Hand )for showing our teacher this great app. )
