Over the past two weeks we have worked very hard to create our own books. We began by looking at picture books and identifying common features and thinking about the things we liked about different books. Next we planned our own story and wrote it in our books. We wrote our book for our junior buddy so we had to think about the type of story they would like to read. We went onto using a great website called Book Creator for Chrome which is a new Chrome extension. We created our own books. We thought about the layout and how we could present our book carefully. We explored different ways of recording our text. Book Creator has a great feature called Voice Record which meant we could say our story and the computer typed it for us - this made it much easier to record our stories quickly. We adjusted the font size and style to make our story appeal to our buddy. We learned about PNG files and that these pictures were the best kind to add to our books. Today we invited Tui to come along and listen to our stories. It was so exciting to have an audience. Tomorrow we will be sharing our books with our own junior buddy. The great thing about Book Creator is we can all read each other's story too because they are in our library.
