Design a Book Cover
Students create a new cover for a book to show comprehension and explore character, plot, setting, symbolism, and conflict.
Whether you have Chromebooks, iPads, PCs, or Macs in your classroom, you can use technology to engage and inspire your students in the curriculum.
Use these examples of projects created by students and tweets from classroom teachers to inspire technology integration in your classroom.
Students create a new cover for a book to show comprehension and explore character, plot, setting, symbolism, and conflict.
To show what they know about a character in a novel you are reading, students create a digital scrapbook for this person.
Students can use Wixie's mind mapping tools to brainstorm ideas and organize information. Combining text, visuals and connections in mind maps helps students show how ideas relate to one another.
Students apply what they have learned about animal characteristics and adaptation to create a new creature and introduce it to the scientific community.
Students can personify an object and write a story as part of an online book or animated adventure.
Students engage with geometry ideas and science by creating a monster using basic shapes for body parts.
Students create a public service announcement to educate people about global warming or another issue they are passionate about.
Students respond to a book they are reading, such as Grandpa's Stories by Langston Hughes.
Students can choose a scientific cycle such as pollination and illustrate it to build and demonstrate their understanding.
Students explore character, plot, and theme and write persuasively as they develop a movie-style trailer for a book they have read.
Students create their own adaptations of literature they are reading.
Students interview animals to demonstrate knowledge of animal characteristics, diet, and more.
Students create visual poetry by combining images that portray the meaning of text.
Students will illustrate and translate the meaning of an idiom to help others learn these examples of figurative language.

Here is an example of how Mrs. Lanzetta's class used Wixie to create a bar graph. They did a great job, and even wrote sentences to describe their data. #Wixie #dumfrieses #thirdgrade #pwcsproud pic.twitter.com/K42Lfm61Tu
