Day 64, Lori Davies, 1st Grade Teacher

Retelling with Screen Chomp


Our first graders have been working hard on strengthening their reading comprehension by retelling stories stories that we have read in class or read independently.  Two of my students used their creative voices and retelling strategies to retell the story of Dogzilla by Dav Pilkey using their 1st grade strategies.

Picture a small quiet town of little mice preparing for a Sunday BBQ when….and as my class would say “dun…dun…duuuun!!!”  (enter the suspenseful music) Click here to check out the video for the rest of the story.



Students used iPad minis and the Screen Chomp app to snap a picture of the book and record their retelling.  I am looking forward to more posts about our digital journey.
