Students worked diligently on their limericks and drew a picture of their super hero. Then, they used the iPad app "Chatterpix" to make their pictures talk, and used the app "iMovie" to put them all together.

Figurative Language in Mrs. Deeley's 4th Grade Classes
I had the opportunity to work with Mrs. Deeley's 4th grade classes during their unit on Figurative Language, which focused on similes and personification.
Essential
Question: How do I recognize and create
personification and similes in writing?

As part of a Figurative
Language study in Mrs. Deeley's 4th grade class, students created a brief imaginative narrative using ‘Personification’. The Little Red Pen, by Janet Stevens,
was the mentor text. Students needed to bring an inanimate object to life in
their writing, making that object the main character. They wrote their personification story in their Writer's Journal. This project addressed
Standards L4.5 and W4: “Demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word
relationships, and nuances in word meanings.”
Mrs. Baker, Middleton’s Digital Learning Specialist, worked with our class to create a digital storybook with all of our stories. The students integrated technology into this lesson using laptops to type their stories on and used the online program “Camameo” to create the book.
Students get a lesson on using laptops properly.
Personification Project
Students from 6th grade helped edit the typed stories. They also showed the students how to use Spell Check and insert pictures from Google Images.

Simile Project
Students used the book My Best Friend is as Sharp as a Pencil by Hanoch Piven, as an inspiration for writing their own similes. The students then created self portrait collages using items to which they compared themselves. This project addressed Standards L4.5 and W4: “Demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings.”
Mrs. Baker then worked with our class to make our picture talk. The students integrated technology into this lesson using the iPad program, Chatterpix. The Corresponding College and Career Readiness (CCR) Anchor Standard for Standard SL 4.5 was addressed: “Make strategic use of digital media and visual displays of data to express information and enhance understanding of presentations.”

Thanksgiving at Fuller Meadow
"Why you don't want to eat me for Thanksgiving."
Students at Fuller Meadow School have had turkeys on the brain. When you walk down the hallways, you see turkeys that are in disguise, mathematical turkeys, poetic turkeys, and turkeys in tutus. I had the opportunity to help some of these turkeys TALK. In Kindergarten and 2nd Grade, students have been working on a very important project. Students worked with their family on designing a turkey that you won't want to eat, then they wrote about the turkey in the first person. In 1st grade, students worked on alliteration as well as improving their writing skills as they told what their turkey would do if he came to visit the student's home.

Students reflected on the process of making their class video.
The Massachusetts Common Core Standards describe the integration of technology into lessons as "New technologies have broadened and expanded the role that speaking and listening play in acquiring and sharing knowledge and have tightened their link to other forms of communication. Digital texts confront students with the potential for continually updated content and dynamically changing combinations of words, graphics, images, hyperlinks, and embedded video and audio."
Common Core Standard for Grade 1: SL. 1.5 Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings. Make strategic use of digital media and visual displays of data to express information and enhance understanding of presentations.
Common Core Standard for Grade 2: SL. 2.5 for Language Arts states, " Students will Create audio recordings of stories or poems; add drawings or other visual displays to stories or recounts of experiences when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings."
