Explain that each letter should stand for something that can be found in Texas. Once students have researched a state-related subject for each letter, they create the text and drawing for each page, decorate a cover, and bind the book. On publication day, have students share their completed books with other teams. Later, encourage your students to share what they learned from teaching. Hold a publishing party to which you invite family and members of the community.
Students present their work and answer questions about how they produced the books.
Serve simple snacks that students help to prepare. Have them get feedback by trying earlier versions on younger siblings, then use the input to make changes in the final design.
