ENGL 2030 Children’s Picture Book – Endangered Species Attached you will find the necessary information to complete your Alphabet Book.As for the actual delivery of the Alphabet Book, you have several options. You may create a Power Point presentation, you may create an actual book (which you will have to leave at one of the campuses), or you may create a regular Word document with the information on it. Either of the options is acceptable. : Creating an Alphabet Book
RATIONALE: Alphabet Books represent an interesting blend of educational
content and often elaborate illustration, typical of picture books. However, each
often has at least two underlying goals: to educate and to entertain children
(young and old). But, how do authors do that? What makes a great Alphabet
Book? That’s what you will have to grapple with as you create your own
Alphabet Book. Remember to keep the content, illustrations, and audience in
mind. Have a great time.

available on the web. If you take graphics from a “non-free” site, please include
a caption citing the source.
