In lieu of a cover page, letter-writers are given an envelope to address and decorate, which is later printed along with their note. Two quick folds, a staple and a stamp are all that is needed to create a mail-ready letter. Like any diary, the AWM Journal comes with a lock which can only be opened by password. Daily entries are automatically dated. Illustrating All projects can be illustrated using graphic tools which look and operate like those in Broderbund's KidPix series.
Students can draw and paint using the wacky pencil, brush and paint can tools.
Over 1,000 rubber stamps are available, including those which follow a particular writing genre such as Mystery or Adventure. Graphics can be imported from AWM clip art files or other saved images. By using the Pageshaper tool, students can change the shape of the text area and graphic space within a given page. Publishing When students have finished their writing project, they can print out their work. Broderbund products are known for their high quality, and the AWM is no exception.
