Make a Mini Book

Twice a year my students make a mini-book.

In January, they make a mini-book based on a book they read in December.

April is Poetry month and they make a poetry mini-book that highlights six poetic elements:

simile, metaphor, imagery, alliteration, personification, repetition

We have so much fun making them and sharing them!

Here are two examples from January

...and the other one...

I was going to make my own video...

but thought I'd check YouTube first.

and Voilà 

Crayola had already created a video showing how to make the mini-book.

I actually learned something new ~ how to make little pockets for the mini-book. 

I think I'll make some mini-books for my nieces and tuck

little Auntie Maria notes in the pockets!

{Thinking of some of you with grandchildren or lil' ones of your own}

You'll have fun making them, no matter your age ♥
