Book reports are often seen as tedious, text-heavy, and outdated assignments. But what if we could revolutionize book reports using Canva, a user-friendly graphic design platform? During this session, participants will learn how to create visually engaging and interactive book reports that bring stories to life. We’ll discuss the value of visual storytelling in the classroom, as well as share tips and techniques for getting the most out of Canva. Attendees will leave with the knowledge and confidence to create engaging and innovative book report designs that can be used across the curriculum. Let’s celebrate reading with Canva!
