We have had a fun week immersed in pirate writing. We spent three days developing ideas about what kind of pirate each student would be, then they wrote. The writing was completed independently - that is to say, they didn't receive help from an adult for sentence structure, ideas or spelling. The writing is truly impressive! To celebrate, and share the results, the kids recorded themselves reading their work. Of course a regular movie just wouldn't do so we used the Green Screen App to make it look as though each student was on a Pirate Ship. Students worked in pairs to complete the movies. They first had to select a backdrop, record each other and save the results. For our next project the students will need to work on projecting their voices and holding the iPad steady.
