Alphabook+Project

Each class will be making an Alphabook that covers and showcases different topics that they have learned so far this year. Each student will be assigned a letter (or two) and will choose a topic for that letter. Ex: A student who is assigned the letter A may choose the topic “Athens.” They will research their topic and complete a Research Worksheet that requires them to answer 4 of the 5 “W” questions (who, what, when, where, and why). While researching they will also find two “fun” or interesting facts about their topic. After completing the Research Worksheet we will move on to the fun part of this project!

For each letter that the students are responsible for they will be making a page for the class Alphabook. In order to complete the class Alphabook the students will all have to complete their assigned pages! On their page they will need their “w” questions, two facts, and at least one drawing or picture. How they choose to decorate their page and display their information is up to them! If a student had Myrtle Beach as a topic they could use real seashells on their page! Students who go above and beyond creatively could receive extra credit!

Though we will spend time in class working on the project students will have to spend time at home working on them as well. I am already looking forward to the Alphabooks, I know that they will be amazing! The rubric is attached below, but I will be passing one out in class when we discuss this project for the first time.I have also attached a list of topics that students may choose from.
