The first step, of course, was selecting and reading a picture book. I challenged the students to find one that they hadn't ever read before. After that, they filled out a summarizing sheet using the Somebody Wanted But So Then model. They rewrote the summary but left out the THEN part and replaced it with a question or teaser such as "read to find out."
After writing their summary, they took a picture of the book using the Chatterpix app and recorded the review. The kids love, love this app, and so do I because it's so easy! The kindergarteners and 1st graders have enjoyed watching them, too, via QR codes in the books!
The final products look like this:
