Tips For The Perfect Pic:

There’s no wrong way to share your project as long as you’re having fun! Have students proudly hold up their books and snap a pic. If you encounter stage fright, borrow one of these ideas:

  • Gather props –or download ours - and let students cheese it up!
  • Tell how the project motivated your students.
  • Share your publishing tips for other educators.
  • Record students reading from their books or having fun at a celebration.
  • Ask students their ideas for picture poses and props or videos.
  • Capture your book delivery or publishing party with pictures or video and share.
