Retelling Because of Winn-Dixie

Students used watercolors to create pictures to represent scenes from certain chapter. We scanned and uploaded those to voicethread for the students to add narration.

My students saw a box of math manipulatives under the bookcase. They decided to use those wooden shapes to create characters and objects from the story Because of Winn-Dixie. They used these things to retell portions of the story. We are at a magnet school for the visual and performing arts, so I guess this project qualifies :) Their retellings were filmed with a Flip Video camera.
