She's going to want to COLLABORATE! Inspired by delightful children's books like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and Green Eggs and Ham, 8th graders in Ms. Fiske's American History class spun creative tales starring historical events they had studied throughout the school year. But they craved something more for their stories. They needed to reach outside of their school and collaborate. That's when they found us! Using Google Docs, the 8th grade teams made lists of illustrations they needed for their books and shared those lists with our teachers. Our students, without meeting the 8th graders, got to work on the illustrations. A week or so later, the 8th graders actually showed up at our door! Our drawings were ready and teams were built. The older kids led the way and in small groups all over the hallways and even inside closets, worked to narrate the 8th grade stories using the Book Creator App. As a result, we were able to create a wonderful series of ePubs all about American History! Way to go teams!
