Exploring a Character with Apple Clips

Here's another way to explore picture books with Apple Clips. Using the speech bubble effect and record button, children can think in role as a character exploring their thoughts, motives and feelings. Again, even though we use this idea with Flotsam, it can easily be adapted to any other picture book.
