Life Cycle of Painted Lady Butterfly Non-Fiction Books

As a final project for our Butterfly Life Cycle unit Mrs. Kennedy's Second Grade Super Stars created their own non-fiction book using the app Book Creator. The students applied what they learned about non-fiction text features such as photographs, table of contents. index, glossary,  into this published piece of non-fiction. Each student recorded each stage of the butterfly life cycle by taking their own pictures on the ipads. They then used these photographs in their digital books. The students also had to read various non-fiction books and websites to research each of the different stages of the butterfly life cycle. Mrs. Baker helped us get started on using book creator and then helped the students with their final editing and recording their text into the books. Reading, writing, and collaborating skills were all incorporated into the creation of these digital books. You can view each book below by clicking on the red movie camera icon.
