#BookSnaps with Students?

Idea # 1: the students could create a book snap and identify different grammar elements or text features
idea # 2: the students could create a book snap and identify main idea and detail
idea # 3: the students could create a book snap and show text evidence to provide information about character traits, story elements, feelings/attitudes, or problem/solution (the list could go on and on)
idea # 4: the students could create a book snap and identify favorite parts or hard to understand parts for collaboration
idea # 5: students could create book snaps of the their own writing to critique or to show of what they are most proud
idea # 6 students could write and label a math or science problem, take a pic, put an emoji outlining their comfort level, and the discuss it in the audio

My class doesn't involve a ton of reading, so it wouldn't be something I use often. I share my booksnaps with them on Instagram to encourage reading and sharing it. I could see using "book"snaps when we read an article about technology, which we do occasionally. It's a fun way of doing things ELA teachers have been incorporating forever: annotating text, close reading, finding evidence, etc. The easiest way to share it I think would be Seesaw. Kids can mark up the screenshot in Seesaw and record audio over it. 

Most of the time I want them to booksnap parts of the text they find interesting, exciting or confusing. We have focused booksnaps around some of our skills; cause and effect & figurative language. 

I love using #Booksnaps in my classroom. I used it during a debate project. Students were given articles that supported their point. They then took a "snap" of the article and created a book snap of it. 

I would like to start using it during their independent reading time. I think it would really help students start to reflect on what they are reading. It would force them to stop and think about a portion of a text they just read!
