TISS - Technology Integration Scope and Sequence, though pre-dating Canvastic, has dozens of K-5 lesson plans that integrate standards based curriculum and publishing software. Canvastic will be an excellent tool for many of those activities.

Super Sentence starts with a boring sentence like “The dog ran.” Use it as an example to show how to create a Super Sentence that tells how, where, when, and describes the subject. Have them create their own boring sentence. Then they change it into a Super Sentence. Then they illustrate it. Grades 1-3.

Wanted Poster has the students create a flyer for a character from a book they have read. The imaginary situation is that their favorite character has developed amnesia and must be found. Using the publishing tools in Canvastic the students not only draw the character's likeness but write in a descriptive paragraph about him/her. Grades 3-6.

Write a Book(let) is a generic plan for publishing material in a booklet form. Publishing in this form can make any curriculum integration motivating and useful. Any content that has more than one part can be adapted to be published into a booklet. These booklets do not require printing on both sides of the paper!
