Making a Movie

This week we have been reading 

Living or Not by Sandra Iversen.

Keri suggested that we make our own movie 

Living or Not.

We had to learn how to use the i-pad, the i-movie app, and how to take photos and record us talking.

PHEW... that's a lot

So here's what Keri helped us to make...
Living or Not
