ABC’s About Me

A 6th and 7th Grade Reading Project

Create an Alphabet book about yourself.  Throughout your book use pictures and words to tell your audience, our class/teacher, about who you are.  What do you like? What are some of your favorite things? What are things you dislike?  Your hopes?  Your dreams/wishes?  Tell us about your family and friends.  Share with us anything you wish to share.  Don’t limit yourself.   Be creative and unique.  This is all about you…show us how creative and unique you can be and how interesting you truly are.

I read my A,B,C, book to the class. I was one of the first people to read. I liked reading to the class. I though it was fun making it. I liked to color all of the drawings in the book I liked making the book.

I think that this project was fun. I think that the hole putting the letters with your likes and dislikes was a bit of a chalenge, but that is what made it fun. I think I did good on this project because I did every thing the rubric said to do. in my book I did not have any dislikes. I think this was the funnest and easiest project that i have ever done.
