Our first graders are currently using Book Creator to create a simple biography of Martin Luther King, Jr. Later in the school year, their classroom teachers want them to research Washington DC memorials and monuments in groups and make a digital book about their monument. This MLK Jr. project is kind of a practice book to get them familiar with Book Creator. As kindergarteners, they used Book Creator one time to create a (very guided) how-to book about how plants grow. Some of them remember this more than others. :)
We learned about Martin Luther King, Jr. through books and videos, including My Brother Martin by Christine King Farris. To keep the ebook simple, they need to have a cover and three pages with at least one sentence and a picture. At least one of their pictures needs to be a drawing and the others can be photographs. I found about ten photographs and shared them so they would be on each iPad's photo stream. (With newer iPads, I could have Airdropped them, but these iPads are too old so I actually put the photos in Dropbox and downloaded them on each iPad.) I will post soon about how the project finishes up!
