Example: The Homework Monster
Description: This website lets students become authors and creators using inspiring and engaging art. The first step is to browse artwork posted on the website by various illustrators. You might already have a book, poem, or story idea in your mind and search for specific pictures. The layout is very easy to use for all ages. Teachers can also use books and poems that have already been created in their classrooms or for independent student exploration. This is the epitome of a student centered project. Students can accomplish writing and reading objectives but exercise choice with illustrations and a layout that interests them.
Teachers or parents can order print copies of student work, you can even download your work to an e-reader or mobile platform! Poetry or pages can be printed and framed as student christmas gifts or end of the year celebration gifts. This is a great way for parents to view their child's writing portfolio and progress. I highly recommend it for all ages, but especially upper elementary-high school students because of the word-processing skills needed to complete work. This would be a great way to get younger students to practice their word processing skills. Using this software, students would have fun and develop their creativity!
