Students will discuss and record the important events, procedures, rules and activities of our classroom during a group brainstorming session.
They will then prioritize and plan for photos to represent each item.
Storyboarding is introduced and practiced for use in planning.
Photos will be taken and captions will be written by small groups and individually.
Each caption will be edited for capitalization, punctuation, sentence structure, spelling and quality by small group with teacher. All necessary revisions will be recorded.
The whole group will make the final editing decisions on organization of final book.

Next steps:
Incorporate book in pdf form onto class blog.
Include video of classroom activities taken throughout the year.
Add podcasts of news from students and class.
