The first graders wrote persuasive self-descriptions from the character's point of view to encourage other readers to become B.B.F.s with the character... and read the character series.
The Butterflies used the iMad Art iPad app to create character illustrations and label the illustration with the character's name.
The Butterflies saved their character illustration to the iPad camera roll and imported the "photo" into the Chatterpix iPad app.
Using the Chatterpix iPad app, the first graders recorded audio of their persuasive and descriptive writing from the character's point of view.
Recording the audio using their best "character's voice" and reading with rate, phrasing, expression, and tone that conveyed meaning... the character came to life!
The first graders shared their character Chatterpix with one another as readers!
The Butterfly Readers used critical literacy skills to listen to and view the Chatterpix and to provide complimentary feedback to the creator.
As readers, the Butterflies reflected on their individual and partner experiences and on the character Chatterpix... identifying and determining individual and group strengths and focuses for learning and development and plans for how to encourage own and one another's learning!
