We did an author study on Robert Munsch this past week. We read loads of his books while discussing genre, author's craft, theme, author's purpose, illustrations, and summarized each story using somebody, wanted, but, so, then. The students were then responsible for reading a different book, not discussed in class, written by Robert Munsch. They summarized their book and put these "book trailers" together using the iMovie app on the iPads. They all worked so hard, and they turned out AWESOME! :) :)
