A++to+Z+books

You are going to create an alphabet book for the book you are reading during Reading Workshop or for a book series you love. You are going to use symbols and ideas from your book for each letter in the alphabet. For example, in a book about dogs, you might choose to represent the letter B with a picture of a bone, the letter C with the picture of a collar and the letter D with a picture of a dog. In a book about the ocean, you might choose to draw an anemone for the letter A, a beach ball for the letter B and a crab for the letter C. For each picture or symbol, you are going to write one or two sentences explaining how the picture or symbol is connected to your novel. You will be using the publishing software Pages to create and publish your book.
