ABC Book Project
English IV
Objective: To create an ABC book from one of your summer reading books (for standard, complete this
project for the summer reading book that you chose) using all the letters of the alphabet, quotes from
the text to support your word choice, an analysis of the word and quote, and an illustration that fits the
word.
Plan:


STEP 1: Using each letter of the alphabet (A-Z) find a word, literary term, character name,
setting, character trait, event, etc. which begins with each letter of the alphabet. For some of
the more obscure letters (Q,X,Z) you are going to have to dig deep and be creative.
STEP 2: Find a quote from the text that supports the word you chose for each letter. You will
find a quote for each letter/word which means you will have 26 quotes.
STEP 3: Explain the quote and how the words that you chose for that letter are related to the
text. This should be a thorough explanation.
STEP 4: Provide an illustration for each letter. These illustrations can be drawn, cut out of
magazines, or computerized.
STEP 5: Put all the pages together and bind them in some way to form an ABC book.
STEP 6: Create a front cover page which includes the title of this project: ABC Book for
_________________, your name, and the date it is to be turned in.
***Any writing in this book should be word processed. NOTHING should be hand written!
This project will be due exactly 15 days after the semester begins.
NO LATE PROJECTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. IF YOU ARE ABSENT ON THE DATE IT IS DUE MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE THE BOOK TO YOUR TEACHER BY THE BEGINNING OF CLASS.
