Augmenting Dr. Suess

Earlier this year, our 1st grade class celebrated Dr. Suess' birthday.  I worked with Mrs. Dingus to create an integrated language arts, science, and technology lesson.  We called it, The Cat in the Hat Visits Habitats.

First, students learned about various habitats in their classroom.  Then, they came down to the technology lab and chose one animal in their assigned habitat.  Their assignment was to learn a few facts about their animal and draw a picture.

Armed with their information, students returned to their classrooms where their teachers collected the facts and brainstormed elements of a poem with them.  Together, the class wrote a poem about Dr. Suess visiting different habitats.

Next, students illustrated the pages.  Mrs. Dingus assembled all their pages and put them into a book.  Students practiced their page's rhyme and meter, then Mrs. Dingus and I recorded them reading in the hallway.  

FInally, I spliced their videos together into one movie and created a trigger image from the book's cover.  Now, anyone who scans the book with the Layar app will see the students' movie!
