How to use Wixie's tools and curriculum library to support your emerging readers, writers, and speakers.
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 personify an object and write a story as part of an online book or animated adventure.
Students respond to a book they are reading, such as Grandpa's Stories by Langston Hughes.
Students create their own adaptations of literature they are reading.
Students create visual poetry by combining images that portray the meaning of text.
@Jennife20928054 Fourth graders used Wixie to create their own library books for others to read. They included a table of contents and cited their sources in a bibliography. Great way for them to be Communicators and Contributors! ?? @HorizonElem pic.twitter.com/6eekyJaXJX

My kiddos showed they knew �Knuffle Bunny Too� was a realistic fiction text by recreating a scene on #Wixie from the story. They chose a real setting and drew the characters on top just like @MoWillems!!! #firstgrade @HumbleISD @HumbleISD_LLE @Tech4Learning @carolynkdaly ?????? pic.twitter.com/IiOHvkGRRB
