LAKE VILLAGE - Fourth-graders at Lake Village Elementary School,
present a copy of their newly published book, "Indiana: Facts
from A to Z," to Mrs. Smith, the school librarian, for the
school library. They learned the writing and publishing process
by collaborating to create an ABC book. The students began by
brainstorming an idea for each letter of the alphabet that would
help others learn more about Indiana. The students then
researched all they could about the word for the letter they
were writing about. Then came the rough draft, editing, a
rewrite and final copy. The students also illustrated each
alphabet letter. The manuscript was sent to Student Treasures
Publication and a hardcover book was printed. Students had the
opportunity to purchase a book.
