Mobile Book Reports

Today my students presented their mobile book reports.  I've never done this before so I was a little hesitant to assign this.  They turned out gorgeous.  The kids had a great time too.  A friend of mine gave me the idea for the book report and she is not sure where she found the idea at so if this was your idea please let me know and I will definitely give you the credit.  I just wanted to share the idea though with everyone.  The kids were instructed to include around 10 cards.
Card 1:  Name, Book Title, Author/Illustrator
Card 2:  Setting
Card 3, 4, 5: Characters (Name and picture if possible)
Card 6:  Beginning
Card 7: Middle
Card 8: End
Card 9: Book Recommendation

We had a rubric that included 5 points for each card, 15 points for turning it on time, 15 points for creativity, 10 points for the presentation.

Here are some pictures of my students' projects:

Classroom Booksource

I found on Pinterest a really great app for your smartphone called Classroom Booksource.  It is a website as well.  This app allows you to scan ISBN # from your classroom library books so you can create a database of the books you have.   I started scanning my books last year and I loved it!  You can also use your phone to check books in and out of your classroom library and connect it to a class list.  I haven't used that feature yet but I definitely plan to do so.  I forgot to mention one thing.....it's absolutely FREE!  Check it out if you get a chance!  Here's the link http://classroom.booksource.com/.
