This week we used Artisan Cam's Picture Book Maker in the Computer Lab. It's simple, but provides plenty for focused writing projects. Students were introduced to the web storybook creator in class and the different elements. During our lab time, we asked Mr. Carls, BOCES Technology Integrator, to assist us in accomplishing our goal during one session. Each student chose their backgrounds, animal characters, and various objects. After that, they composed a mini-book of 6 pages.Our focus was on beginning, middle, and end, as well as starting each sentence with a capital letter and ending it with a punctuation mark. The results were impressive! Upon returning to the classroom, we learned together how to fold, cut, and turn the printed sheet into a small story. The student's faces reflected their success!
Here's a few link to some of the stories.... Try it out at home, using the link above!
