Thing #6

I personally love to write and I love to read so I found a site called Lulu. http://www.lulu.com/index.php This website allows people to publish their own books, calenders, photo books, etc. Anything you can think of that is your own to publish, Lulu can help you do it. I think this would be great for classrooms! Elementary teachers can take student's stories and create a book for them each to have using the site, they can also help students make calenders or recipe books for parents as Christmas gifts. The website is very easy to follow when it comes to publishing a book, it shows you the options (with pictures) and guides you through the process, the only problem I found with the website is the extremely large collection of books that may not be suitable for younger children. Which as a future teacher, is a major downfall to me, but overall I enjoyed the website.

  1. What a great site! I love your idea about having the students create their own books. Kids are always so proud of things that they make themselves. What a great way for them to showcase what they have written!

  2. I think students would enjoy writing their own books and expressing themselves with this task!
