This post is a work in progress as students finish & tweak their animated books
The following items are animated books created using Google Slides with Ms. Mangan’s class:
The third graders created Information Books as a part of our non-fiction reading and writing units. They started with an “expert” topic, one they already knew a lot about. This topic required little to no research, simply background knowledge. After the students chose a topic they began developing chapter ideas, elaborating on those ideas and accompanying them with non-fiction text features. The kids worked on several drafts making edits and revisions. Each chapter was placed in a logical order, for some students paragraphs were developed and for all students the writing was organized with topic sentences and supporting details.
Next came the publishing portion of the project. With support from Mr. Casal, the students used Google Presentation to create slides to display their information. This was a wonderful learning experience. Everything from typing text to inserting photographs to creating transitions was taught and then put to practice. In the end the third graders created a comprehensive non-fiction information book that can be enjoyed for years to come and across the globe because of its final form, Google Presentation. – @LindsayCMangan

Gabi, your book was amazing you taught me so much about dolphins and what they eat.
I think you should tell us how to get wood before we go mining because how will I craft a pickaxe if I don't wood? It doesn't come out of nowhere, right?
You should do each slide the same transition, Marcello.
Thank you for saying that Kevin!
Jaden, what do you mean by''and what tier they are in you will also learn about wood.''
William, I think your book is great but on slide 10 you said Breat Fave gets on the hall of Fame.
I'll fix that!

Audrey, amazing book love the pictures.
Ok Marcello?
I'll fix it
The link is to bring you back to the table of contents
I fixed that already Barbara.
Jaden, you should change ''now you need sticks chop down some trees'' into now you need sticks ''to'' chop down trees.
It has been such a treat to go through the presentations. I am very impressed with the quality and creativity of the children's work. What a wonderful class of students!
Thanks Giana I just changed that.
