How I Used This Resource
For the print version, I have students write initial drafts of the poems in their notebooks first, and after self-editing, peer-editing, and teacher checking they can publish their drafts on the provided lined sheets. Use the ‘My Anthology of Poems’ cover sheet to compile each student’s poems into a poetry anthology. This will definitely be a memorable keepsake for your students.
For the digital Google Slides version, I assign a couple of poems at a time via Google Classroom. Students refer to the sample poem alongside to write out their own version. They ‘Turn it’ in when completed. Students also present their poems to the class.

*************************************************************************
SUGGESTED USE:
♦ Project the PDF file on the interactive notebook to introduce the parts of a fiction book report via the posters/anchor charts. Also show students the flipbook templates and completed sample. Discuss the requirements for each template of the book report.
♦ Have students collect information in their flipbook on the specific book under study. This could also serve as their draft where they could use the self-editing and peer-editing checklists to edit. Finally have students publish on given writing sheets or type out content from draft observing corrections.
*************************************************************************
HOW TO ASSEMBLE FLIPBOOK:
You can choose either of the two options.
⇒ Print out the templates in blackline. Cut around each template and assemble from smallest template to largest template. Have students colour in pages. Staple at top tab for flipbook or glue descending order in notebook.
⇒ Print out the templates on cardstock (different colours). Cut around each template and assemble. Attach at top.
*************************************************************************
PREPARATION
→ For grades 2-3, bundle up to 6 sheets together after sorting, align them perfectly and cut.
→ For grades 4-6, students are old enough to cut and compile flipbooks on their own. I have my students compile all sections of the flipbook prior to research and writing.
DISPLAY
After completion, display students’ flipbooks under the Banner.
These flipbooks are sure to make an interesting bulletin board display.
