Shakespeare ABC Book Project
You will choose a random letter of the alphabet that will be part of our class ‘ABC’ book. You will then choose a
topic related to Midsummer Night’s Dream that begins with that letter.
Each student:

Will create one, two-page spread (see below for picture)

must have a topic that clearly relates to the play Midsummer Night’s Dream
Pages will have revised and edited paragraphs as well as charts, pictures, photos, decorations, etc.
You are responsible for making your pages on your own, including typing, finding pictures, and creating your collage.
Each page should be a spread that is two 12 inch by 12 inch pages (1 square foot on each side).
Sample page:
This is side B, the
second half of
your spread.
This is side A. It is
half of your spread.
Each page is 12
inches by 12
inches.
They sit open
face to face. So
these two pages
are for ONE
letter.
