What a fabulous week we have had! In 4LC we have been working to improve our descriptive writing by learning new, exciting adjectives as well as openers to hook the reader in. At first we navigated the ancient 'Epic Citidel' using the app on our iPads. In pairs and using Word Hippo, we were able to generate a super bank of adjectives to describe what we could see, hear, smell and feel in this mysterious, deserted place. Once we had learnt how to take a screen shot of various scenes in the city, we could uplaod them into Skitch where we brainstormed our new vocabulary. To bring it all together, the images were put into a Pic Collage to be used in our books as our very own word banks! These are just some of our word banks below...
It was amazing to read some of the magnificent sentences that were carefully written by 4LC and we really wanted to show these off in a new and exciting way, so we decided to work in small groups of three to create our very own iBooks using Book Creator. We have uploaded these below as a video so that you can read them. Please take your time and feel free to pause as you're reading so that it doesn't skip to the next page too quickly! Watch out for our storytelling pages where we used Splice to video ourselves speaking. We our really proud of all the skills that we have learnt and used to create these books and we hope that you enjoy reading them!
