Children's Storybook

We will be visiting the elementary school and you will be paired up with a buddy.
You will be creating a children’s story using Microsoft Publisher. Use the information sheet provided about your child to ask them questions to personalize the story. Use a lot of digital photos of the child and graphics to illustrate your story. Follow the directions below.

Create a new publication.

This will take some thinking. You must have 12-16 pages to your book.

Create the front cover for your book. You must incorporate the child’s picturessomehow. These will be printed on cardstock paper. The back side of the inside front will be blank.

The inside of the back book cover will have a short description and picture of you with your partner. The back of the book will be blank.

Include a title page—name of story, author’s name, and copyright date with word copyright and copyright symbol.

Write your story. When writing the story, use short sentences, small words, and big pictures—-you also need to make the font fairly large. Only include 1 to 3 sentences per page. No huge paragraphs! These books are for first graders!! Use clip art or internet images as needed. Be creative!

Number your pages to make things easier to assemble.

Save often!!!!

See your teacher for help in printing . You may make a copy for yourself if you’d like and you must make one for you first grader.

Bind your books!

Enjoy reading!
