Sick by Shel Silverstein

Here is our amazing digital story!

The content we'll be using is from Shel Silverstein's poem called "Sick" in order to fulfill 2nd grade's Standard 1 from Oral Language. It states:Oral language students will develop language for the purpose of effectively communicating through listening, speaking, viewing, and presenting. We'll be using poetry as our genre in our digital story. Our medium will be pictures from the internet (URL). The pictures we have chosen are from the internet, mostly of cartoon children who are sick. We will use PhotoStory to complete our digital story.

The pedagogy involved in our project will be new engaging to the students. It will get them excited to read poems and it is easy enough for the 2nd grade students to understand. This will also show them how to use technology.

The technology we will use is PhotoStory. We will narrate the poem with our own voices.
