I found two YouTube clips for 'Going on a Bear Hunt.' You can find Going on a Bear Hunt as a cartoon here and I'm going on a bear hunt with real life pictures here. I showed both clips to the students and had a scribe list the positional language for both the songs. Finally I asked the class to make a comparison of which version they liked best. The results are below.
IB loved watching the story
With the comparisons made I read one of my favourite books from childhood "Bears in the Night" by Jan and Stan Berenstain.
Again we listed the positional language. The students then drew a map of the story.
Finally, with the iPads, we used the app skitch, and had a go at annotating the positional language of the story.
This was the first time we had tried adding text, so with further practice, we will become experts!
Excellent maps there! Did you find the bear?
