Tech Friday
STEPS TO COMPLETE YOUR TASK
Today's Task
Today you will be creating a Smore flyer for your Tech Friday task. As a group you must create an account, choose a design and template, and then add information about your fiction book and topic and other books that relate to your topic. Your goal is to create a digital advertisement for your book, potential books, and your overall topic. Think back to your discussion map/note taking guide for inspiration. Make sure you reference your topic in a creative way. Exactly what you include is up to you, but it should be a variety of text, pictures, and video. Think of it as an advertisement that will entice other people to explore your topic. When you are finished, each of you needs to post the flyer to your blog. Just like last time, embedding the flyer is better than posting the link.
Pictures
Book Information : Include your fiction book and other books that may entice people to research your topic.
Picking what to share on your flyer
Make sure you include different sections of text from the different components of your discussion map. Major categories to choose from: summary, characterization, setting, conflicts and quotes from the book. You don't have to include a lot of writing, just enough to pique someone's interest.
