Student-Created Book Showcase

 A great way to showcase student work is to create a digital book. We've been using Book Creator in Park West School Division and our students have created some wonderful pieces of work to showcase their writing!  Here are a few examples of digital books students have created this year:

I Wonder...

Mrs. Smart's Grade 4 class created I Wonder books.  They developed 4 I wonder questions about an animal they were curious about, then researched the animal to answer their questions and published a question and answer book with the details they learned.  

A to Zed

Mrs. Gorrell's Grade 2 class was inpsired by a Canadian A-Z book that listed different Canadian items for each letter of the alphabet. They decided to create their own version with an Canadian word for each letter of the alphabet.

Personal Interest

Mrs. Smart's Grade 4s also wrote about one of their personal interests: whether they loved animals or Minecraft, vehicles or sports, students shared about what they love in these books. 

Student Work Showcase

With permission, the following students have shared their work. Check out this Book Creator library for examples of the wonderful work our students have done!  

A Polar Bear Project: Writing about Polar Bears

As part of our polar bear project, our class did a lot of research about polar bears.  Using what they learned, students each wrote a page for a class book about polar bears.  They also narrated their work to create an "audiobook". 

Our Special Guest

Local Author/Illustrator Dianne Conrad visited our classroom last week as part of our bookmaking project!  She is writing and illustrating her first children's book called "Dama Grows"  She brought one of the paintings for the book with her and her sketchbook.  We got to ask to ask her TONS of questions and we saw her website http://www.dianneconrad.com/ Then, she gave us some tips while we worked on the artwork for our greenscreening project.  We were so glad to have a special visitor in our classroom and we hope to buy her book when it's ready!

The Six Little Chickens & The Big, Bad Coyotes

One of our big projects this year was making books.  Our class wrote a fractured fairy tale and then we decided to turn the story into a play script.  Next, we wanted to act it out using our script.  We filmed our play using a green screen and the DoInk app to put in the backgrounds from our story.  You can read our story here or watch the video!
