iBook Biopic
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.
Reflection: In this project i was supposed to create a little biography about me with pictures. I got this project done a little bit early and found this project to be all around fun. I feel like this project was great and I’m kinda sad this was the last project of the year. I’d have to say that this was my favorite class all year and that this projects was probably my favorite. This week is my birthday weekend and by the time this is published it’s the day before my birthday. I’m hoping I can haven more classes like this in the future.
