I created this book to introduce students to solstices and equinoxes, which became an idea after I was talking to students about seasons in my student teaching placement. Students understand that there are four different seasons, but they don’t necessarily understand why the seasons occur. Therefore, this book is intended to give them a little bit of background as to how Earth’s tilt and its positioning in relation to the sun affects season changes and why the hemispheres get opposite seasons. My target audience would be 4th grade, but 5th and possibly 3rd later in the year could also use this book.
I found Book Creator to be a relatively easy site to use. I liked how there was a built-in image search and that there were layouts I could choose from for picture layouts and headings. Overall, I enjoyed using Book Creator and think it would be a great resource for students to use as well.
