Literature Circles Project: ABC Book

You will be asked to make an ABC book to represent important elements, symbols, settings, characters, etc. from your literature circle book.

The template you need to use for each of the letters is as follows:

A is for…

B is for…

C is for…

Etc.

Your book must have:

□   An illustrated cover with the title of the book, the book cover, and your name on it

□   Something represented for each letter of the alphabet (you may choose to opt out of 3 letters.  Just keep in mind, if you do all 26, that shows me you have gone above and beyond and will most likely be rewarded for your extra effort)

□   2-3 sentence explanation in a voice appropriate for a 6th grader to understand – i.e. not copied and pasted (plagiarized) from the internet (Keep in mind, I will be checking to see if you only do the minimum required for this part of the assignment and it will be reflected in your grade)

□   A clear, colorful and aesthetically pleasing illustration that corresponds to each letter (you may draw, use clip art, or images from the internet)

In addition, you will also be graded on neatness and effort.

How you choose to create and present this book is up to you, but it should be presented in a neat, easy to read package.  So if you know that you have messy handwriting, typing the text might be the best course of action.  If you’re not the best artist, finding clip art and photos from the internet might be the better way to go.
