Children’s Book Rubric Name___________________________

Objective: by the end of this project students will be able to write, and illustrate an age appropriate (2nd grade) children’s book.

Requirements:

1. Image size width 13.5 x height 8 x 150 ppi (each page will actually be half this size)

2. Book is at least 10 pages long + front cover, with average of 15-20 words per page.

3. Illustrations must use at least 4 of the “shots” listed below to add interest and variety (to earn a 4).

Long Shot: Subject is seen from a distance.

Full Shot: Character fits the frame from head to toe.

Medium Shot: You see character from the waist up.

Close-up: Head takes up the whole frame.

Extreme close-up: Even closer e.g. just the eyes.

4. May use vector graphics, bitmap drawing with stylus or mouse, or collage technique with photos of patterns, textures or “materials”, but no photos of people/places/objects or other prefab graphics. Tracing okay for photographs only.

Whichever illustration technique you choose, stay consistent to create a unified look throughout the book, and use only original characters and imagery!
