This quarter we are focused on students as creators of content published in books for an authentic audience. StoryWeaver is one tool your students can use to publish content. Another benefit of Story Weaver is students can read hundreds of stories created by other students. There is a section of the website, Readalong, that has books students can listen to aloud and follow along as each word that is spoken is highlighted on the page.
If your students are secondary learners, they may enjoy creating a book for a class of younger learners. Consider partnering your secondary class with a primary class, having each older student interview a younger student about their likes, career goals, and interests. After this interview, the secondary learners can author a book that is designed to meet their peer partner’s interests.
