What Pet To Get?

In this video I am reading the book “What Pet To Get?” by Emma Dodd. I tried a better program to share stories called windows movie maker! Please listen my story and when you get a minute respond to the following question, 

If you could get any pet in the world, what would it be, and why?

    Hi Ms. Shiels,
    I have always wanted a pet tiger, probably because they look so soft and cuddly, but then like the mother in this story I have to be realistic. A tiger would have a big appetite and because he is wild he may not be safe to have in the house. He might hurt one of us or he might decide to scratch the furniture with his big claws. This was a very cute story and I thought you did an excellent job on your delivery. The students and I were noticing how you read very clearly and you had a very even pace. We also decided that you read with enough volume and used excellent emphasis and certain words. Thank you for taking the time to share this story with us. It sparked a terrific discussion for an up coming assignment where the students will have to present their own picture book story to the class. I would love a demonstartion on how to use movie maker.
