We have fun making our Write A Books
look like real books.
We write a blurb or short summary
of our story on the back cover.
We dedicate the book to a person
or people that we care about
We write acknowledgements to people.
This means we say thank you to those
who have helped us in some way.
We fill a page with information ‘About the Author’.
We also put in a title page, just like a real book.
We put in a contents page
and give the chapters names.
Sometimes we include pop ups or lift the flaps;
windows
or gates
A good story can often start with a mysterious letter
or an invitation. So sometimes we have included envelopes
with letters inside.
We often put a map in which our story is set
in the very centre of our book.
We enjoy adding page numbers.
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.

look like a real book here.
You will find some really great resources to help you
with your ‘Write A Book’ on Seomra Ranga.
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.
Thank you for your kind comments and encouragement. It is lovely to hear from Summer Buzz.
