About this book... A beginning step in learning to conduct research is to identify facts. Our students viewed digital media and selected a ‘favorite fact’, then illustrated the fact. Our book was compiled in the Book Creator app using an iPad, where we recorded our voices reading our facts. Mrs. Dennis, our school METI, helped us with this project. We will celebrate our book by going under the sea on a virtual field trip with our Google Expeditions! We hope you enjoy our book and we hope you learn some new facts!
