A great tool for creating dazzling digital stories!

How I Use It

I had students create poems and then turn them into Storybirds, by choosing artwork that went along with their poetry and completing a short book. This was a great way to marry my lessons on figurative language and using sensory details in writing. I really did not like setting up all of the students in my classroom and adding them into Storybird's website as a part of my class. I wish I could have just sent students a link and from there they could have entered themselves into my classroom. I loved visually displaying the stories on my smart board and having students read their stories aloud to their classmates - it was an activity enjoyed by all in my classroom. I also loved the fact that some of my students bought the books and gave them to their parents as mother's day or father's day gifts.
