Option 1

Choice 1: Texas ABC Book

Create an ABC Book on Texas History. For each letter of the Alphabet you will choose a word (such as A is for Apple. B is for Banana. etc.) Each letter is to be done on its own 1/2 page and each page is to have a COLORED DRAWING OR ILLUSTRATION of the selected word. These drawings may not be computer generated or cut out of a publication! They are to be drawn or traced and hand colored. The entire project is to be done in ink, colored pencil or crayon. NO GRAPHITE PENCIL IS TO BE USED ON THIS PROJECT!!!!! Drawings may be done on a separate piece of paper and then cut out and glued into the ABC Book. The Book is to have a cover of construction paper and is to have a title, the name of the student and class period on the cover.
