Wordless picture books were our focus this week. We discussed how pictures can tell just as many details as words can, if not more! We read Chalk by Bill Thomson. The first time we read it, we just did a picture walk; no talking, only looking at each page. Everyone was using their imaginations to create a story from the pictures. The second time, we took turns sharing what we thought the words should be. We were all very patient while listening and learned how creative some of our classmates are! By the end, we had created a complete story.
The next day we split into groups , with each group receiving a different wordless picture book. Here are the different books we read...
Every group had to read the book two times, just as we had in class. First, everyone looked very carefully at the pictures. Then, groups went back and added in their ideas for words. Once this was done, each group member had to pick their favorite page. We then used an app, Educreations, to make a slideshow of our favorite pages. We typed the words we thought should be on the page too. The slideshows turned out great and we even recorded our voices reading the words!
