Mrs. Cabrera's Poetry Book Project
*Important - the pages are counted front and back; therefore the front, first
page is 1, then the back of page 1 is page 2 etc. The book must resemble a real
published book, so please produce a quality piece! Remember to keep it in a gallon
sized Ziplock bag.
Remember to have a parent reread and spell/ grammar check, before you paste
anything in the book. Use your computer spell check/ grammar check carefully. Also use
Glue Sticks, NOT liquid glue- as the pages will wrinkle.
