Directions for Making the Book:

Use three sheets of blank, white paper. Holding them together vertically, fan the sheets out, placing one on top of the other, approximately 3/4 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.

Title Page (top section): Include the title of the book, the author, your name and date, and the genre of the story. Draw a picture to represent the title of the book.

Setting: Tell where and when the story took place. Include any details to help the reader learn about the time period and 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 sketches of the characters.

Problem and Solution: Choose four problems from the story and the solutions to each problem and tell about them. You can put two problems in each section. Include a sketch if it helps the explanation.

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.
