ABSTRACT

Publishing and sharing are huge accomplishments, but it is just as important that a classroom provide space for students to display their published works. There are unlimited ways in which kids can publish. The key is to make publishing fun and exciting and allow time for more learning through the process. A big sheet of blank paper may be overwhelming for some kids when they are beginning to illustrate or write words for their research. Kids take notes using different-colored sticky notes. They draw images to represent their notes. Some kids choose to complete their exploration of the topic by presenting giant notes they have gathered. Some kids like to make their words big and full of color. The information with large words and huge images to support the writing or vice versa has a great effect on the reader.
