AGIS 2020

Using independent publishing as a means to keep students motivated to be authors and illustrators. Generating a book includes different kinds of skills such as design, layout, technology, art, and organisational skills on top of the writing skills.
We will share examples of books published and the experience we’ve made in the process.
This year we have started using the Lucy Calkins Writers Workshop in Grade 1 to support the writing process.


Outcomes:
Process of publishing a book and reasons why book publishing can support the writing process across the Units of Inquiry, and keep students motivated to be authors and/or illustrators.
