What students will learn

Students will work on computers typing up their final drafts on the Write Brain Books website. After Typing the story into their electronic books, they the students send them (electronically) to the publisher to be printed, bound and mailed out to their residence. The focus of module three is to expose students to the process Authors go through after writing their manuscript. They will learn the difference between and editor, publisher and book designer.

​

How will students be successful.

Through anchor charts, graphic organizers, discussions and creative inquiry students will compare and contrast key terms such as editor, publisher and book designer.

​

Sequence

Module three will be differentiated depending on where the students are at in the writing process. Student will fluctuate between working together and in groups of two, independently typing their manuscripts and working one-on-one with the teacher.  The book " What do Authors Do" will be revisited focusing on the section that explains what happens after writing a book.
