NEW CLASSROOM RESOURCES

Make a book
with your class.

Four printable worksheets for planning a reading-to-writing project. These are new teaching tools inspired by the 2014 Let’s Write collection, not pages from the original book.

01 / PROJECT PLANNER

Plan the path to publication.

Name the reading, discussion, writing, and publication choices before the class begins.

  1. What kinds of graded stories will students read?
  2. How will discussion roles rotate between readers?
  3. How many drafts and feedback rounds fit the timetable?
  4. Who is the intended audience for the final collection?
  5. What format will the class publish: print, PDF, or both?

02 / STORY MAP

Shape a first story.

Students can sketch ideas before drafting in English. Keep their voice and ideas at the centre.

  1. Working title:
  2. Main character: What do they want?
  3. Setting: Where and when does the story happen?
  4. Problem: What changes or gets in the way?
  5. Turning point: What choice must the character make?
  6. Ending: What has changed by the last line?

03 / PEER FEEDBACK

Read as an interested reader.

Give specific responses before suggesting corrections. The writer decides what to revise.

  1. One moment I could picture clearly:
  2. One question I had while reading:
  3. A line, character, or detail I want to know more about:
  4. One place where I got lost or wanted a clearer link:
  5. One encouraging suggestion for the next draft:

04 / PUBLICATION CHECKLIST

Prepare the class collection.

Use this checklist as a starting point and adapt it to your school and publication format.

  • ☐ Each writer confirms the final text and preferred byline.
  • ☐ Titles and author names are checked against the contents.
  • ☐ Spelling, punctuation, and page order are proofread.
  • ☐ The cover, introduction, and credits identify the project clearly.
  • ☐ Any borrowed text or images are identified and addressed.
  • ☐ The final file opens and prints as intended.
