Publishing provides an opportunity for students to practise visual literacy skills, such as handwriting and presentation. Refer to page 209 of The Writing Book for the Pizza book publishing idea.
A big thank you to Emma Fawcett and her Grade 5 class at Rolling Hills Primary, Melbourne for sharing their pizza books with us.
Emma says: 'The publishing process really helped the kids to think more about colour, theme, presentation, questions as subheadings, and the balance of images and text. Some even included glossaries too!'
