In Week 7, we re-visited 'Puppet Pals". Last time we used Puppet Pals we chose a character to write a limerick about. This time we chose a character so we could write a description of our chosen character. This activity was part of our Literacy Rotations.
First of all we had to choose a character and a backdrop. In our Literacy book we then wrote a description of what we could 'see'. After we completed our description we had to show it to an adult, to check it was okay. We then voice recorded our description and used our classroom speakers to listen to the descriptions we created.
Oscar discovered it was difficult to voice record when there was a lot of background noise.
Rebecca found this app easy to use because her Mum has Puppet Pals on her phone.
Jamee found the choice of characters were quite limited (you have to pay extra for more character choices). However, Jamee had fun writing her descriptions.
We have been trying to upload our video clips to our blog, but haven't had any luck. This is such a shame because we would like you all to listen to our wonderful creations. We are hoping to find out soon what we need to do differently to upload our clips successfully. We will keep you posted!!!
In 3B we really liked how you went back and looked at puppet pals again because we think you would have learnt different things. We also liked how you described the characters in your book and then recorded your descriptions. Some people in 3B think they would like to try this activity for themselves.

ReplyDeleteHi "lachy-lan", Puppet Pals is actually free but you might have to pay for extra character sets. Have you tried Sock Puppets? It's completely free and it works much the same way. You choose sock puppet characters and move them around on stage as you record your voice to act out a scene. It's very cute and a lot of fun. You can use Sock Puppets in so many different ways - to tell as story, or teach something, or practice spelling and reading, or explore a character from a book, or make people think about a topic, sing a song... the list is endless! I wonder if you can think of some different ways to use it that might help you learn?
