4. Children’s Work: How we make our Write A Books look like real books.

We have fun making our Write A Books

look like real books.

IMGA0268 

We write a blurb or short summary

of our story on the back cover.

IMGA0336

We dedicate the book to a person

or people that we care about

IMGA0265

We write acknowledgements to people.

This means we say thank you to those

who have helped us in some way.

IMGA0294

We fill a page with information ‘About the Author’.

IMGA0295

We also put in a title page, just like a real book.

We put in a contents page

and give the chapters names.

IMGA0266

Sometimes we include pop ups or lift the flaps;

IMGA0275

doors,
IMGA0288

windows

IMGA0291

or gates

IMGA0290

A good story can often start with a mysterious letter

or an invitation. So sometimes we have included envelopes

with letters inside.

IMGA0303

We often put a map in which our story is set

in the very centre of our book.

IMGA0274

We enjoy adding page numbers.

IMGA0340 

At the back of the book

we add a page or two we call

‘What the critics say’.

We send our book around the room

and ask our school friends

to make a positive comment there.

We bring our finished book home

and ask our family to do the same.

  1. This all sounds wonderful. I’m so impressed; and the Queen Bee thinks you’re all fantastic. She’s looking forward to seeing some of the finished Write a Book entries.
