The Book Cover Creator is designed to allow users to type and illustrate front book covers, front and back covers, and full dust jackets. Students can use the tool to create new covers for books that they read as well as to create covers for books they write individually or as a class.

Useful for a wide variety of reading and writing activities, this outlining tool allows students to organize up to five levels of information.

Students reflect on recent learning and the role digital tools and media have played in supporting or enhancing it.

Students celebrate the power of words by reading aloud to their classmates and spreading the word of global literacy to their friends and family.

Observed on the last Monday of May, Memorial Day honors the men and women who died while serving in the United States military. In addition to having celebrations with family and friends, many people visit cemeteries and memorials and place flags on the grave sites of fallen servicemen and women.

Students imagine they have been asked to participate in a museum exhibit, take photos/videos of a significant location, and write or record reflections. Students can also create an exhibit from something they have read.

Using the Book Cover Creator, students write and share their own multilingual stories.

Students focus on the figurative language in Heaney's poem, "Digging," and discuss the speaker's attitude, and how metaphor, simile, and image contribute to the poem.
