Assignment #11 – IBook Biopic- All About You!
Students use iBook Author to create a biopic with the following 4 main content categories for their Chapter pages, with 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 will design 4 main chapter pages and will use 3 section pages for detailed content in identified categories to tell there Bio stories – images, text copy for introductory information and captions. Spelling, grammar, and formatting will also be 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 of this assignment description and standard 3 part reflection – restate the assignment, step by step of how it was done, and reflection on process, quality, and possible improvement. Grading is based on structure (4 chapter pages w/3 sections each and appropriate labeling – 10 points), content (images and text to detail Chapter and section pages – 10 points), and layout design/presentation (page organization, markers, margins, boarders, balance – 10 points).

My work:
Reflection: The steps for this assignment (the IBook Biopic assignment) include laying out 4 chapters to introduce 3 (or more) sections about you, filling out those chapters/sections, adding pictures from another device and/or using safari to find pictures, saving it as a pdf., and adding it to your ePortfolios. I completed all of these steps. I laid out 4 chapters to introduce 3 sections about me, filled out those chapters/sections, added pictures from my phone and used safari to find pictures, saved it as a pdf., and added it to my ePortfolio. This assignment was challenging and time consuming but it turned out amazing. I would love to do this assignment again.
