Storybird

June 18, 2014
I really enjoyed creating a short children's storying using Storybird.  Even though the themed illustrations were limited with the free account, I was able to creatively use the available pictures to tell my story.  I wanted to tell a story about being happy with who you are.  I also wanted to tell a story about a turtle, because I just love turtles and my students know it! Unfortunately, school was out by the time I finished this Storybird tale, so I wasn't able to share it with this year's class during our folk tale unit.  I plan to share it next year during the same reading unit because it'could be used for a demonstration on determining the lesson or moral of a story.  The moral of this story is that no matter what others have, if you are content with what you have in life, then that is good enough.  I also tried to create a little rhythm in the text, so I could even use this during our poetry unit next year!
