II

//Young students read a simple nonfiction book with an older student or adult mentor. With the assistance of the mentor, they complete a graphic organizer. The students make a drawing of an insect, which is labeled with the help of the mentor. Each student shares information about their insect aloud; this is captured using simple recording software such as Audacity or VoiceThread. The artwork is photographed or scanned, and the finished work is shared on the library website.//
