The book that I created was geared towards 3-8 grade students. The book title is "Pi Day" and takes you through a students perspective of what he thinks pi day is going to be about. Being a math teacher, Pi Day is an excuse to party in the classroom while learning about circumference and area of circles. I had a lot of fun creating this book and I will be presenting it to my Integrated Algebra class on Wednesday! I think that they will like it and be supportive of my first web published book. I will ask for their feedback and improve the story as needed.

In the ELA classroom, Book Builder can be used at all levels. In elementary setting, students can work in teams to develop a story line and create the book through Book Builder. In middle school and high school settings, teachers can instruct students to be creative and express their thoughts through story telling. They can also present poetry and book report summaries with this tool. Many of the essential ELA components can be incorporated in the Book Builder program with the different features that it offers.
I really liked your book. I thought it was very creative. I remember celebrating Pi Day in school as well. I think this would be a great way to get students motivated to learn about the topic! Well done!
ReplyDeleteJessica, for some reason, I can't open your link to the book. Could you please share with me again?
ReplyDeleteGreat Job on your book! I think this would be cool to share with the students... I'm sure a lot of students do not even know when Pi Day is!
