Storybird is a great website to encourage storytelling with your students. The website has a collection of illustrations that can be combined in order to make a visual story. The author can type in the words to a story as well as organize how the illustrations are presented. The website also allows you to read many different stories that have been created by others.
Tonight in class, Liz, Jenn, and I created our first Storybird story. There was a variety of artwork that caught our eye, but we decided to use the artwork of Hedgehog and Co. We collaborated to create an if/then story similar to Laura Numeroff's If You Give a... series. It was a lot of fun, but frustrating when we realized our story got deleted. Despite our mishap, we were able to quickly recreate it. You can check it out below. I hope you like it!
I love your group's idea of creating a Storybird text that is modeled after Laura Numeroff's series of books. This is an activity that I do each year with my students and I can only imagine the fun that they will have creating their stories on a program like Storybird! Thank you for sharing your idea!
