classroom ideas
 Invite your students to become published writers, photographers, and artists by incorporating these ideas into your curriculum.
decorate the classroom
Poster prints are perfect for classroom décor. Invite parents (or students) to take candid shots of the students in class, working on a project, or performing in a show. Then make poster prints and hang them in the classroom or the halls.

storybooks
Ask students to write and illustrate short stories. Photograph their illustrations and upload the photographs to Snapfish. Then publish the stories in a photo book. Invite parents to attend a special class reading.

family trees
Have your students create family trees. First, they'll photograph and interview family members. (Family in other cities can upload photos to a group room.) Then they'll write a short biography of each member. Publish the family trees in a photo book.

classroom magazine
You can use Snapfish's photo book tools to create a classroom magazine. For example, assemble a Science Fair Magazine by publishing a summary of each student's project next to 1-3 photographs of the student's work.

student portfolios
Throughout the year, photograph projects and presentations. At the end of the semester or year, students can assemble their photographs into a book, with captions and text entries to describe the photos and include written work.

biography/autobiography
Invite each student to write a biography of someone they know. Students should take photos of their subject and upload existing photos to a Snapfish account. Then, students can create photo books to publish their biographies. ( Or students can use the same process to publish their autobiographies.)

architecture guide
Ask students to research the architecture in your city or town. Each student should focus on a particular architect or style, photograph buildings and details of buildings, and write up their findings. Then, students can publish their reports in a photo book.

nature guide
As a class, take a walking field trip in the area around your school, photographing the natural life. Then have students identify and research their findings to write entries for a nature guide. Publish your guide in a photo book.
