 * **Step #1:** Students download the Scribble Press App or use a device with the app loaded.
 * **Step #2:** Students will open Scribble Press and add a new page for each of the planets.
 * **Step #3:** On each page they will put the planet name, a picture that they draw or place from the camera roll, and list the characteristics of each planet.
 * **Step #4:** Students will make a cover that includes their name, class hour, and a title for their book.
 * **Step #5:** Once students are finished with their books they will share their books with their teacher and after approval in the iBook store. Students will e-mail their book to their teacher: pkrambeck@esu3.org (provide email address)
