Directions for Making the Book:
Use three sheets of computer paper. Holding them together vertically, fan
the sheets out, placing one on top of the other, approximately ¾ inch apart,
from the bottom of each sheet. Hold them in that fanned position, and fold
down all three papers from the top, so there are equal sized sections. You
should end up with a wider title page on top and five sections below. Place
two staples on the fold line.
Directions for Book Information to be Included:
Label the page edges as in the picture above. All information should be
typed. Spelling and grammar count so make sure you are proofreading
your writing.
Title Page (top section): Include the title of the book, author, your name
and date, and the genre of the story. Draw and color a picture to represent
the title of the book.
Setting: Tell where and when the story took place in 1-2 paragraphs. Include
any details to help the reader learn about the time period and setting. You
should also include a colored illustration of the setting.
Characters: Tell all about the main characters, who they were, and a little
bit about them. Are they related? Did anyone do anything interesting,
special, or courageous? Draw and color sketches of the characters. Your
description should be 1-2 paragraphs in length.
Problem and solution: Choose four problems from the story and the
solutions to each problem and tell about them in one paragraph each. You can
put two problems on each Problem/Solution page.
Interesting Information or Timeline: In this section, tell interesting things
you learned from your book. You can draw or create a timeline of events if
it is appropriate to the story you read. If you are not creating a timeline,
your description should be 1-2 paragraphs in length.
Be creative! Be thorough! Be neat! Have fun!
