Making Books Across the Curriculum

This book has a primary-looking cover, but it's not just for primary grades! It begins with directions on how to make general student books with hard or cloth covers. Then it shows some basic shape books and how to make them. Patterns are included. What's really neat about this book is that there are ideas on how to apply or adapt the pictured shape book to a variety of content areas and themes. Literature suggestions are also listed. I wasn't sure this was the thing for a 5th grade class, but after borrowing this book for a day, I was ready to buy one of my own! Even if I don't use the ideas shown, the book inspires me with new ideas for applications. Student-published books are so appealing and fun to do. I can't wait to show my students how to do these!
