Literacy Fun

Today the X-Men completed their trailer for the great story Kick-start. You can view it below and will be able to find it on their blogs. It is written by Simon Cooke and is a rugby story with a twist. "Lumbering giants... engaged in battle... over an egg?"


Kick Start from Kieren Moriarty on Vimeo.

Meanwhile the Justice League were making connections to their story The Trouble with Shadow by Julia Ballard. We used ShowMe (my favourite app at the moment) to record our connections on the iPad. The class could see it on screen thanks to our Apple TV. You can watch it below and find it on their blogs too.
For example, Nikitah's great postTracey's terrific post.

  6. I wonder when it's gonna be the Avengers turn to do the trailer. (The reading group Avengers in room 16 not the actual Avengers).

  7. I enjoyed watching your trailer :) Great job!
    I also liked the way you made connections to self,text, etc. Referring back to the book is a great way to support your connections, ideas, opinions, etc. Once again, Great work!
