Content: We will be using the Shel Silverstein Poem Sick in order to fulfill Standard 1 Oral Language. Students will develop language for the purpose of effectively communicating through listening, speaking, viewing, and presenting. We will be using poetry as our genre for our digital story. Our medium will be pictures from the internet (URL).  The pictures we have chosen from the internet focus on cartoons of sick and injured children to enhance our poem. 

Pedagogy:  In order for kids to enhance communication and technology skills (as outlined in Standard 1) in Second Grade. We will create this digital story in order to introduce poetry (especially Shel Silverstein) to students in an interesting and interactive way. They will be able to engage in this themselves and get excited to do it themselves or learn about poetry.

Technology:  We will be using Photostory which is a program that allows us to put together a short film about poetry that we can show to students. This program allows us to speak through a microphone and put words to pictures (like a powerpoint) and even use music.
