We're Making an ABC Book

Our whole class is making a book about our salmon. We are making an ABC Book About Salmon. An ABC book is where you have information about the topic for each letter. For example, I am letter G. I can either do Great Lakes or Gravel. I think I want to do great lakes. Anneke is letter I, Marylee is letter M and she is doing migration, Thomas is letter T.

Our class is making a Salmon ABC book!
First, before we were assigned our letters, we looked at examples from the library, and all my classmates got a different book. While we were looking for examples for our ABC salmon book,
and we were using sticking sticky notes in the books for text features. Here are two books we looked at:










How we picked how to do our ABCs book -
(1) Previewed books.
(2) Picked a format.
(3) Picked what letter each student is going to do. After every kid got a letter, we started to research.
(4) Researching: We all got a Chromebook and started to research our letter. We went to Google to get information. We also looked in books.
(5)When we got all our information we made a slide on it on our Google drive and shared it with our teachers.
(6) We made a rubric for everyone to follow so the book pages will all look the same.
(7) We had to revise some pages, change some font and add some things to some pages.


We're still working on it but we're getting close to being done!
