I can collaborate to plan and publish a class storybook by:
choosing a theme, outlining scenes, drafting and revising my page, adding an illustration/caption,
and using simple publishing features (title page, table of contents, page numbers, and credits).
Materials
Pencil ✏️, colored pencils/markers, eraser
Story page template (paper) or tablet
Stapler or comb binder; cover paper
Tracing Pad (below) for titles/lettering sketches
Tip: Keep character names, setting details, and tense consistent across pages.
Mini-lesson — From idea to class book
Pick a theme & shape a plot: e.g., “A Day We’ll Never Forget” or “Adventures of Sunny the Cat.”
Storyboard your page: one clear scene with who, where, problem/action, and result.
Design a page: 4–7 strong sentences + one illustration + an optional caption.
Publishing features: title page, dedication, table of contents, page numbers, and credits.
Team roles: editor, illustrator, layout helper, table-of-contents helper, cover designer.
Revise: check capitals, punctuation, spelling, transitions, and that pages fit the theme.
Video won’t be included when printing.
Guided Practice — Title & Lettering on the Pad
Use the pad to sketch a title and letter big first letters, names, or punctuation marks you’ll use.
Try two title options: “Adventures of…” or “The Day the ___ Visited”.
Draft 4–7 sentences for your story page about one scene (problem → action → result).
Add a short caption for your illustration.
