Write an ABC book!

 My Composition class is working on lessons for next year’s class.  Several of the kids in next year’s class are reluctant writers.  Today, we came up with the idea of writing a children’s book.  Later we refined the idea to an ABC book.  Here are a few ideas.  Rhyming is optional.  We think reluctant writers would like this project because it can be tailored to individual interests.  A teen might write an ABC book about golf and fishing.  Another might select horse breeds or tack.  Kids could use a template and illustrate their book.  If the child adds pictures from the internet, it is a good opportunity to show how to insert the link to credit the source for the image.  The teens in class were excited by the idea.  I hope next year’s group is equally enthused.
