#BookSnaps are a short and simple way for students to demonstrate learning and comprehension of the books they read. A BookSnap is much like a Snapchat story in that it starts with single image that is further enhanced with text, stickers, audio, or emoji. In a Twitter post, Tara Martin, the founder of BookSnaps says that "#BookSnaps allow students to draw meaningful connections to the text" @TaraMartinEDU. In an article from BookCreator.com Tara states that " To me, the best part of #BookSnaps is the unique REALness the strategy reveals about the creator. Therefore, #BookSnaps need not be ruled by a rubric to produce what we want, but rather allow the students to draw connections based on what�s meaningful and relevant to them." Projects such as this allow students to share their unique voice, while applying critical thinking skills in a new and exciting way. Students can share thoughts, opinions, inspiring, or important passages quickly and easily. There
