Bookmaking

Star Books  
Spring 2014

This was our last bookmaking project of the year!  All year students learned how to make various book structures and were ready for this challenge.  After folding the pages, we wrote and illustrated Color Poems, and then glued the pages together.  It was like "magic" when we opened our books and they turned into stars!

Fall 2013

Throughout the year, my students and I create our own unique books.  Student created book projects demonstrate learning in content areas.  My students are always excited and engaged when in the process of bookmaking.  By integrating book arts with literacy instruction students experience the creative process while developing literacy and language skills.  The approach also gives children access to visual, kinesthetic and verbal modes of thinking at every stage of the writing process.  As we move through the year, students will create a variety of book structures.
