My Expert Book – All About Chanukah

I am now a published author! The book took hard work to make. I included  good writing and good text features like captions or stories. We also learned transitions like for example or because. I used expert words so people understand the words in the story. I learned also how to use text feachers like captions. I could not just tell facts facts facts, you have to have ideas. I had to put my chapters in a order that made sence.  I chose the topic of Chanukah because I celebrate the holiday and I figured why not write about it. The book was hard to put together but it became great in the end. I was excited to have finished the book. I learned not to use the word I or me because it is not about you, your book is about the topic it is about. Now I really understand how to write an expert book. Finding which topic to do was hard but I put in hard work. This book took a while to make but when it all comes together it is amazing. Adding pictures was also a hard part of the book. I need to find pictures that fit just right with my topic. It took two months to finish the book . At the beginning I did not know what I was going to write. It all worked out to become a really good book in the end of our lessons though!

My book is called All About Chanukah…

  2. This was a phenomenal summary of what Chanukah is about, the different traditions, and why we have the holiday. You provide so much fantastic detail in here – you’re making me want to celebrate Chanukah now….I kind of wish it was December because that’s when Chanukah is (except for the cold weather). I can tell how much effort and time you put into this and you did a great job. And it seems like you learned a lot and now know a lot. — Mr. Shedroff

  3. I learned a lot about how Chanukah came about and how to play the dreidel. You did a great job researching, writing and using visuals with your text. Great job!
