My lesson plan centered around the Iowa Core Standard: SL.1.4 Describe people, places, things, and events with relevant details, expressing ideas and feelings clearly. Students watch the story "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus by Mo Willems. Instead of reading the story from a traditional book, Booklfix provides them with a mini-movie experience in class.

Students then get an Ipad and work in small pairs to create their mini-story on google jam board. This activity will require students to pay attention to people, places, and relevant events in the story and make their spin-offs. When students are placed into groups, they are asked, "would you let the Pigeon drive the bus?"

As they recall events in the story, they get creative and use their reasoning skills to tell us why or why not. Then students who feel comfortable sharing their projects will share what they came up with with the class. This is a great activity that technology enables students who struggle in reading to get reading time in an alternative way. Bookflix also includes a Spanish option so Spanish-speaking students who are still learning English can participate.
