Making Books
Free hands on activities for teachers. Making books brings creativity and curriculum, often viewed as opposing forces, together. I've made books with thousands and thousands of children in my almost twenty years of teaching and I can't think of any children who couldn't wait to write in their books when we finished the session. This enthusiasm continues as they research and write. Teachers report back that their students put so much more effort into their books than usual assignments. Over the years I've worked to make bookmaking as easy as possible. I now use repurposed materials as much as possible which saves preparation time. I don't get hung up about precision and perfection. The more joy in the process, the more books you and your students will want to make. The more books you make, the more writing and learning will happen.

This versatile tool can be used by students from kindergarten through high school, for purposes ranging from learning to write dialogue to an in-depth study of a formerly neglected genre. The tool is easy to use, made even easier with the Comic Strip Planning Sheet, a printable PDF that comic creators can use to draft and revise their work before creating and printing their final comics. After completing their comic, students have the ability to print out and illustrate their final versions for feedback and assessment.
