🤔 What is publishing? How can it support what we are learning?
Publication is important for all children. It is not the privilege of the classroom elite, the future literary scholars. Rather, it is an important mode of literary enfranchisement for each child in the classroom.
~Donald Graves, pioneer in literacy education who ultimately revolutionized the way that writing is taught in the US and around the world
🧐 Let's see publishing in action and get some ideas!
Possible Levels of SAMR with Book Creation and Publishing:
Possible Levels of SAMR with Book Creation and Publishing:
Substitution: Students write a class book. Each student creates their book page on paper. Teacher takes pictures of the pages and adds them to a Google Slide.
Augmentation: Students write a book. They utilize a digital tool to type their book pages. They add pictures from the internet to the pages of their book.
Modification: Students create a class digital book. Each students writes 1 page of the book. They incorporate clickable elements in the book to allow readers to choose to learn more.
Redefinition: Students write a class digital book. Each student creates 1 page of the book. They incorporate various media on the pages. Students swap pages with a peer and leave digital comments to aide the revision process. The final creation is shared with students in a classroom somewhere else in the world.

Do author studies ahead of time. Talk about the strengths! How might we do this as authors?
Start with a class book where each writer writes about a single topic or creates a single page. Read the completed book together.
Make student creations available in a classroom library for reference.
Save exemplars for future years.
Begin with an about me book or topic the student is very knowledgeable about.
Put the writing in a document that the student can copy and paste into a book creating software.
