My Biopic
Description:
Students use iBook Author to create a biopic with the following 4 main content categories for their Chapter pages, with 2-3 (or more) sections for specific content: Personal Bio Info (includes – about you, family, pets, where born, schools, etc.), Favorites (Foods, things, places to visit, bands, songs, sports, etc.), Hobbies (Things you like to do), and Career (what you want to be when you grow up). Students are graded on how well they use page space/page layout, write intros for each chapter, use the iBook details for accenting and highlighting content (includes page color, frame color, images and placement, labels – font choice and size, etc.).
Students must design 4 main chapter pages and are encouraged to use 2-3 section pages (2 or more for content categories) to tell there Bio stories. Spelling, grammar, and formatting are also graded.
The final work is saved as a iBook Author file, then exported as both an iBook file and as a PDF. Work must be uploaded to their ePortfolios with a PDF with this assignment description and a reflection.
My Biopic:
Reflection: This project was fun, but sometimes it was tedious and hard. The first thing that I did was make the shell of my iBook by adding 4 chapters with 2-4 sections each. Then for homework I had to find pictures for all of the sections, about 1 half of my biopic is made of personal pictures, and the other is made up of pictures off the internet. So I put all of those pictures in where they should go. Then I put captions by the pictures, and paragraphs on each section and chapter. Then I had it peer edited and spell checked. I enjoyed this project.
