WRITE YOUR OWN BOOK<br />
WHAT YOU NEED<br />
1. Pen/pencil<br />
2. Notepad<br />
3. Recorder<br />
4. List of questions<br />
5. Subject<br />
EXAMPLE:<br />
Why not write a book on the day you were born? Interview<br />
your parents. The title can be The Day _______Was Born.<br />
Fill in the blank with your name. Below is a list of questions.<br />
Each answer will be one page in your book. Next to each<br />
page you can draw a picture to go along with the theme on<br />
that page. You can include a page with your family on it with<br />
your parents’ names and the names of your siblings.<br />
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR PARENTS:<br />
1. What was the weather like on the day I was born?<br />
2. How did my mom get to the hospital?<br />
3. Who was at the hospital waiting for me to be born?<br />
4. Who were the first people you called to tell them I was born?<br />
5. How did you decide to name me?<br />
6. What other names did you like?<br />
7. How long did my mom and I stay in the hospital?<br />
8. What was it like the day you brought me home?<br />
Once you have the answers, you can start writing your book.<br />
Again, each answer can be a page in the book with a picture<br />
you draw to go with that page. Then staple it all together,<br />
paste a recent picture of yourself on the cover page, write<br />
your title and give it to your parents as a gift. They will love it!<br />
