eBooks anyone? For Grade 2 students, they are just the thing to show what they have learned. Much of January and early February was spent exploring nonfiction text features in their classroom and in the library. Features such as headings, captions, index, glossary, types of print were investigated, all with the underlying question of, "How does this feature help me read and understand nonfiction?" Students spent 1 library time learning about iPads and an app called Scribble Press. Scribble Press allows you to create all kinds of eBooks. You can make your own or choose from many different topics already created. There is also an art section. We have found it very easy to use and the kids love it! The following 2 library times students worked in pairs to create eBooks by photographing and explaining various nonfiction text features. We will then post the link to their books on our library web site for others to view and use. It has been a big motivator for them to have these books published. They do not want their work to be anything but their best. A real bonus for me is when they tell me that they asked their parents to put Scribble Press on their iPad at home because they liked it so much. Links to their work coming soon!
