These plans combine teaching essential skills, concepts and processes with the creative act of writing a book. The units vary in terms of target ages, time required and subject matter, but they all result in books designed to be shared with others in a celebration of learning and literacy.
Build-a-Book Curriculum Connections offer plans for a wide variety of literacy activities which range from families working together to make a book during a book fair or school orientation to students creating and sharing a book as the culmination of a month long interdisciplinary unit. Each lesson plan integrates essential 21st-century learning skills into creative projects using the hands-on Build-a-Book activity.
