Directions for Making the Book:
Use three sheets of computer paper. Holding them together vertically, fan the
sheets out, placing one on top of the other, approximately ¾ inch apart, from the
bottom of each sheet. Hold them in that fanned position, and fold down all three
papers from the top, so there are equal sized sections. You should end up with a
wider title page on top and five sections below. Place two staples on the fold line
using the special long-reach stapler we have at school.

Directions for Book Information to be Included:
Label the page edges as in the picture above.
Title Page (top section): Include the title of the book, author, your name and
date, and the genre of the story. Draw a picture to represent the title of the
book.
Setting: Tell where and when the story took place. Include and details to help the
reader learn about the time period and setting. You should also include a picture of
the setting.
Characters: Tell all about the main characters, who they were, and a little bit
about them. Are they related? Did anyone do anything interesting, special, or
courageous? Draw sketches of the characters.
Problem and solution: Choose four problems from the story and the solutions to
each problem and tell about them. You can put two problems on each
Problem/Solution page.
Interesting Information or Timeline: In this section, tell interesting things you
learned from your book. You can draw or create a timeline of events if it is
appropriate to the story you read.
