The Thief
How to: This book project is done by first collecting vocabulary words. Second, the student puts them in order to tell a story. The teacher helps type it up and if possible illustrates. The teacher also helps with the ending, pulling a lesson from it if possible. For example in this book, the lesson is that the thief never stole again. Also, the teacher includes a page at the end with all the vocabulary words, separating into nouns, verbs, adjectives, and others like opposites. This particular project is best done when the student is beginning to learn to read. Replicate and modify the project as the student becomes more skilled and capable of completing the book independently. The finished product is a book to practice with and read to others.
