Creativity on Book Creator
We had a terrific day
that included dramatic play, costumes, toys,
pictures from home and the internet
to supply images and videos for creative stories.
The students brainstormed creative games they like to play as possible topics for their own books. They found other students within the class with similar interests and created cooperative teams for our projects.
They spent several days planning their stories. This involved a lot of discussion, using a story map to outline the plot of the story, creating a STORYBOARD for their project and making plans of what they needed from home for our creative day. They encouraged other teams by offering toys, props and even pictures of family pets that were shared through their ownCloud accounts with each other.
They were then all set to begin. With the help of several parent helpers, the children were free to use various places around the school as settings for their videos and photos. As you can imagine, there was a lot of talk on the flow of the story as they gathered their images. This gave them a lot of language to use as they began to write their creative eBooks.
Take a look below at snapshots of the day…
