Illustrating and Finishing Your Book
You have some options:
1. Less tech option: Print your story. Use plain white paper to draw and color your illustrations. Use markers, crayon, colored pencil, water color - your choice! Insert these pages in between your typed story.
2. More tech option: Draw and illustrate your pictures on paper, take photos of your illustrations, use Insert ↠ Image to upload them into your document.
Your finished fairy tale should have:
- A cover (Title and author, illustration)
- A typed story
- At least 3 illustrations

Reading - By The Great Horn Spoon (BGHS):
Read 2 chapters each day and complete the comprehension questions using complete sentences. You may write your answers on another sheet of paper as the worksheet does not provide much space.
Bonus: Use a map of the world to track Jack and Praiseworthy's journey to California.
Fill in country names, oceans, and port cities as you go.
Print this one:
https://www.waterproofpaper.com/printable-maps/world/map-of-the-world.pdf
or draw a map of your own.
Grammar, Spelling, and Vocabulary:
Complete 2 pages a day from the workbook you received. Work neatly.
Exercise every day: push-ups, sit-ups, dance, hike, jump! Make a new routine, create a new trick, or practice an advanced skill.
Here's some inspiration for you (check out the freestyle section!):
