Reviewing for Science using Book Creator

5th Graders in Mrs. Gilliam’s class are reviewing for their science benchmarks. As part of the review process, students created books on various science topics using the computer version of Book Creator. They accessed Book Creator through Clever. Prior to the lesson, I helped Mrs. Gilliam create a class library so she could share a code with her students to link them into her class.
After students logged in to Book Creator using their Google sign ins, they entered the class code and started creating their review books. I showed students how to use the text tool, how to search images, record their voices, change background colors, change fonts, and use the drawing tool. Students also had the chance to choose between a traditional book theme or a comic theme. After they are finished, students have the ability to review each other’s books since they are all housed under Mrs. Gilliam’s class library.
