Students in grade 5 have been working on the Canadian provinces and territories. They researched their assigned province in small groups, collected and organized all information, then designed one - or sometimes several - pages in Book Creator.
Points to consider:
- all pages had to be the same size and orientation in order to fit together
- several group members realized that coordinating font and design ideas would lead to a harmonious outcome
- students who finished their pages got to work on nonfiction text features (cover, table of contents)
During the project the students practiced several strategies to learn how to work with a new form of technology, also, it was another chance to do research, take notes, use their artistic skills and collaborate.
