Amazing e-books created by primary aged students




In the spring of 2016, a Principal suggested I create a workshop for grade 1 – 3 students and I developed a workshop which focuses on the process of creating a book. The students at Rogers Public School @YRDSB were exposed to original artwork, electronic artwork, print proofs (drafts), press proofs, final products, etc. Students completed worksheets which were assembled in class books and published as e-books on Smashwords.com.The artwork was amazing! Here are the covers of the e-books.
