Students took photographs of one another, and they were excited to see their own images become part of their authors' page. They created these pages, using photographs they had taken themselves to introduce the authors behind the books.\r\n\r\nThroughout the process, students practiced reading, writing, speaking, listening, and print skills while collaborating and celebrating one another's creativity.
