Our class-created book, The Corns Visit the 13 Colonies, is now live (and, global... in 50 countries!) in Apple's iBookstore!
Our book, which is historical fictional, follows Damitria the Unicorn,
Henrietta the Hippocorn, and Willamina the Shnoopacorn on an exciting
trip back in time to visit the original 13 American colonies! The book
features multi-touch widgets, like 3D movable colonial buildings, photo
galleries, an interactive student-created glossary, puzzles, a
sketchpad, and original artwork!
Each chapter and section is the result of collaboration from my 2nd
period seventh grade social studies class. Students researched and
wrote in groups, chose copyright-friendly photos, and created the
overall concept. I edited and compiled using the free Mac app, iBooks Author,
on my MacBook. Each student receives writing credit on page 40 of the
book (thanks to each parent for granting written permission).
The book is a FREE iPad download. If you have an iPad, or know someone
who does, please download it! The students are really proud of their
accomplishment!
