Publishing our Fairytales!

We first decided that published
books needed covers, title
pages, and dedication pages.
We then began adding to our
list in a "what else" section.  As
we publish, the list is growing!
As we wind down in our narrative writing unit, we are publishing hard-cover books to showcase our hard work from the month of March.

We have really been working hard to create revised and edited books that not only feature engaging characters and exciting plot-lines, but also show off well-planned dialog and edited paragraphs.  We have been using our drafts to publish our writing so that we can share it soon.

As we publish, we've also been charting what we notice published books often have.  From dedication pages to back-of-the-book blurbs, from enriching recipes to title pages, we are creating professional books.  We've been adding to our list as we publish so that we can continue being self-directed writers. We're all at different points in the publishing process but we're all taking control of our work, direction, and pace to complete what we think is important before the deadline.

Stay tuned for an upcoming publishing share!
