1. Making Books in Real Life


Many teachers, especially at the lower grades, enjoy making books with their students as a follow-up activity to sharing picture books. To this end I highly recommend you visit MakingBooks with Children, Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord's elegant website on creating simple books with children. (And yes, my fellow English teachers, it is, indeed, MakingBooks, without a space between the two words).

In addition to her free activities, she also offers teachers tips on the teaching process, tools, and materials. Her MakingBooks blog offers other terrific ideas, many of them related to the holidays.

Check it out. You'll be surprised how easy it is to create such wonderful books with your students.

2. Book Making & NYC Zine Festival


This weekend, I attended the NYC ZINE FEST '09 at
the Brooklyn Lyceum building.
Below is the official poster of the event:


The NYC Zine Festival are made of self-published, homemade,
independent and small publishers.


Some of the Zines I got from the festival:
By GBtran: A Vietnamese American Cartoonist

Below a handmade book by John Mejias:

I drooled over the
Microcosm Publishing Catalogue below: ( love the illo on the cover) where they've got loads of Zines, books, posters,etc..

Another favorite of mine : Robin Enrico
she created the "Jam in the Band" below:

3. Giving Thanks Book

The new edition of Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord's newsletter is out. The project this month is a Giving Thanks Accordion Book. I love this idea and think William and I will make a few books on Thanksgiving morning, perhaps one for each person who will sit at our table, so that we can share our appreciation for them.

For more information about this project, visit Gaylord's web site where you can learn about making accordion books and watch a video with detailed instructions.
