In class, we were supposed to make books that had to do with colonial life. First, we have to write three topics that you would want to research on. Next, our teacher picks our topic. Then,  we write about colonial life for chapter one, and then you research on your topic. When you’re done researching on your topic, you organize your information with index cards. After you’re done organizing your research, you start to write your second, third, and fourth chapters. Then you write your glossary and your bibliography.

In chapter one, you write about when Colonial America was discovered and the colonies there. Chapter two is about your topic. You can put subheadings in chapter two. Chapter three is when you make up a character who lived in colonial times. Then you write either a journal entry or a letter. Chapter four is when you come up with a question, and when you get up to chapter four, you use the question and answer it with your research and talk about the answer to your question. A bibliography is when you list all of the places you got your information or sources.

The process of making this book was fun but challenging. The fun part was when we typed our research on google docs, and copied it on google slides and find pictures. That was fun for me because it was really easy to do but I still liked researching. The challenging part for me was finding the information. My topic was school, and when I went home and searched up colonial schools, nothing was found. So the challenging part for me was researching because there wasn’t much to find about colonial schools and I have to use books because there’s information for colonial school.

When I was writing this book I learned a lot about colonial schools. I wasn’t really interested in colonial schools but I wanted to try something new. I hope you enjoy my book!
