Steps to beginning a project

• 1. Find a fictional book that you really, really
  like to read.
• 2. Choose a book that has several colorful
  pictures (this makes it easier).
• 3. Try to find an easy-read. Chapter books may
  be too much to take on for this project.

points to put on the board. Let your

Lets begin

• 1. Decide if you want to paint the board, cover
  it with material or construction paper, or leave
  it white.
• 2. Choose a picture that YOU would like to put on
  the board and YOU draw it.
• 3. BE NEAT and dont overdo the stuff on the
  board.
• 4. Arrange the 10 main points on the board and
  dont leave any out!!!
• 5. Decide if this is an individual project,
  family, or group.

Completing the project board

• Do not glue anything down onto the board until
  you have laid it out to best fit the board layout
  with the pictures and artwork.
• Use rubber cement or glue sticks for better
  adhesion. Liquid glue leaves ridges.
• Have a parent or adult close by for using the hot
  glue gun, staple gun, or other special tool.
• Do not cut up a real book to do this project!
• Do not go off of the board in any way.
