First, we reviewed the four stages: egg, larva, chrysalis (pupa), and adult butterfly. We used two different websites to create our animations: in Ms. Hartwell&#8217;s class we used <a href=\"http:\/\/sketchtoy.com\">SketchToy<\/a>, and in Ms. Ambrose&#8217;s class we used <a href=\"http:\/\/abcya.com\/animate.htm\">ABCYa!Animate<\/a>, but the process was basically the same for both. We started by drawing the egg. I showed them examples of real butterfly eggs using a Google image search. We noticed that most eggs were white or yellow and were laid on plants. Next we used the drawing tools to draw the larva. Again, I used a Google image search to show examples. We repeated those steps for the chrysalis and the adult butterfly. Finally, we published our animations. SketchToy generates a link which replays the drawing. ABCYa!Animate makes a GIF file that we uploaded to Padlet.
