The learning intention for this lesson was for children to retell a story they have read using animation. This term all the students in Team One’s Inquiry had a science focus. We have been learning about bees, the importance of bees and ‘how they need to keep the hive alive?’ The children were encouraged to reflect on our inquiry whilst creating. The animation was created on their iPads using the Explain Everything App. Prior to creating and animation the students already had prior knowledge of how to use the tools within Explain Everything. There are 4 students in this group and they are all reading at Yellow 1 Level 6. This was the first time that this group of children created an animation.
The learning intention for this lesson was for the children to create an animation on their iPads to retell the story of The Three Little Pigs, using the app Explain Everything.
