Children’s Book Project By Elric Gaddy
The MCMS advanced seventh grade English class recently completed and presented their children’s books they had made on storyjumper.com. They were created in a paragraph unit. Before creating the book, the class was working on a narrative paragraph for Mrs. Cross. The books were created along with two paragraphs, which were revised for a younger audience. The narrative paragraph was made for a more sophisticated audience. The students were allowed to work with partners, which added some very funny aspects to the flow of the stories. All of the books were creative, unique, and definitely entertaining. A funny part of the presentation was the use of voices that fit the character’s looks and emotions. Some even included small challenges, such as counting ants. Everyone had a good time making and presenting the books, and the audience was also very happy at the end of each book.
