Alphabet Book

Assignment: Create an alphabet book about coronavirus and the unique way we are living because of it. So, your book might include words about the actual virus (like coronavirus, COVID19, fever), people who are trying to help us conquer the disease (Fauci, Garcetti), ways to fight or prevent the virus from spreading (face mask), or ways your life has changed because of COVID19 (distance learning).

· Each page will be a different letter of the alphabet book (A-Z, obviously).

· Each page should have the following:

1.The word you chose.

2. At least one sentence explaining the importance of the word or what the word means.

3. Your sentence (s) should be 4th/5th grade sentences, meaning that they should be detailed, with adjectives, adverbs, and             possibly prepositional phrases.

4. You should check your sentences for grammar and spelling mistakes.

5. A picture that relates to the word used.

* You may draw a picture.

* You may download and paste a picture.

 *You may create a picture on the computer.

* You may take a picture with a camera to illustrate the word or action.

· Make this alphabet book something that you can keep, to remember this time. This is a time that will be part of history books and, as much as we might not like it, we are living this history. You’ll want to remember details to tell people when you’re an adult. Did you know that Mayor Garcetti is using L. A. Times articles from 1918 to help guide him in his decisions about today?

· You’ll create 2 pages a day, for a total of 26 pages. The entire project is due on June 5, but I will ask you to send me pages throughout to check your progress.

· Your book may be created on Word, Power Point, or by hand. If you have another idea, that’s fine. Whichever program you choose should be one that you can share with me throughout the project, as well as at the end.

· See Mrs. Tredennick's Edlio page. She will post some pictures of alphabet books that she has. All of my kids ABC books are gone.

* You can also go on to an ebook site to look at examples of ABC books for ideas.
