Candidate's Biography Children's Books!!

After Kelly and Riley assigned us our project - I knew what I was going to do since I was already planning on having my government students research the presidential candidates. I would have them take their research a step further and have my students select their favorite candidate to write a children's book about. With Kelly's guidance and the help of our fabulous media specialist at GHS, we were introduced to some of the newest resources on DISCUS and Janet also found a great example of a children's book about Abraham Lincoln. Lots of students were relieved when they learned that a childrens book may only have a sentence or two on a page. The first few turned in have been terrific! Now I just have to get the rest in!

Every teacher I know who has done a childern's book has loved the outcome. I hope that you have just as much success.

I have had more turned in and there are some really great! They had to include a dedication - and I have probably enjoyed that the most!
