For example, I have the children write a sentence with an adjective. If they choose a sentence about a girl they have to give an adj about the girl. Then if the girl finds a bug they have to describe a bug. There has to be at least two nouns with two adj in the sentence. They write the sentence at the bottom of the page and illustrate above. I divide the adj book into sections to help with the flow of the book. Last year the kids decided we would go to a park. So the first section was who came and what they brought, then what they saw when they got there and then lastly what they did. We choose in the morning meeting what group we will be in and then in my reading group that day we write and edit our sentence. By the end of the year the kids create and plan the whole thing with some help from me if it gets too out there or too detailed that it will be hard to get 28 kids to participate. They LOVE doing it! We put them in dollar store 3 ring binders and keep them in our class library. Eventually the children will tear a few holes so I put those little white reinforcers on them. They love seeing their own books and we always bring them to our librarian and our principal to ohh and ahh over. I ask parents to donate pastel copy paper so we make the pages on this paper. I copied "lined" lines on the bottom, usually 3 lines and left the top open for the picture. The children put their name "teeny tiny" on the bottom so they know who did what page but not big enough that it messes with the flow of the book (one of my students suggested this last year).
