4th Grade Solar System Comic Books
The solar system is an exciting new SOL for fourth grade (4.7, 4.8). There are lots of cool projects that you can do. Fourth grade students at Chamberlayne Elementary School made online comic books today. Pairs chose an object in the solar system to research. I have created a site of kid-friendly links for learning more about the solar system here. I also made a quick Keynote animation here. Then I showed them how to create a page in Comic Life. I gave them a template and a folder of pictures to use that you can download by clicking the links. They created their comic, then I combined all of them into a Pages document, saved it as a PDF (go to File > Print > Save As PDF), and uploaded it to Youblisher which automatically turns it into a cool flip book! I have embedded one below, but you can see each class’s books: Filer, Albis, Hand, Covington.
