 To make the program unique, the students write only the beginning and the middle of their stories.  Then many celebrity co-authors complete their stories.  This makes the writing activity fun and exciting.  This year two of the co-authors were Dan Carpenter, Indianapolis Star columnist, and Jim Shella, WISH TV State House reporter.

 Mrs. Brown decided this year to take the writing lesson to the next level.  After the stories were completed and published in bound blank books, she contacted Miss Alex Burton, a Ball State senior, who was majoring in Graphic Design.  Alex agreed to visit Mrs. Brown’s classroom and work with the fifth grade students to create their multimedia stories.  The stories would contain their original text, video, photos, sound effects, narration, and hand drawn illustrations.  The students used iBook Author, a mobile app released in February 2012.  Some students even used the Puppet Pals app on their iPads to create unique videos.

 The students were very excited to create their first multimedia storybooks to be viewed on their personal iPads.  To see the PDF versions of the books use the buttons at the end of this posting.  The PDF versions do not include the multimedia elements, but with an IPad you can download the iBook Author app and view the books in their multimedia form.  We hope that you enjoy reading these storybooks as much as the students enjoyed creating them.

 On Monday, September 17^th, students met Eva at the Newfields for a student only screening of the condensed one-hour educational version of the film. In conjunction with the film viewing, students also made seed paper flowers with wildflowers seeds and planted them in a forgiveness garden dedicated to Eva. Students learned from Eva that having a forgiveness garden is part of her dream for forgiveness. 

Learn more about the event and what the Allisonville students learned at this coverage in the Indy Star:
