Grade 2 Covers Inspired by The Z Was Zapped

Second graders are reviewing how call numbers help us find books in the library.

We read The Z Was Zapped by Chris Van Allsburg, which features the letters of the alphabet meeting sad fates. The students had to guess the action happening to them, which started with the same letter; for example, the F was flattened by a foot and the Q was quartered. I love when students come up with words that neither Van Allsburg nor I had though of ... this year, it was "the G was Godzilla'd" and "the W was worn (out)."

Then the kids created their own version of the book, as well as their personal call number. I'm going to put their work into a binder that can be checked out and brought home as a library book. Here is a preview:
